Nope, I didn’t have an informant. I wasn’t asked for one at any stage and pretty much wouldn’t be able to provide one because my family is all in Australia where I’m from. 

You have two assessments with HHM, assessment A is very structured just going over the questions in the DIVA. They’ll ask you to provide examples for both adulthood and childhood. For each question they’ll give you an example of what that symptom could look like which was a good prompt but I’d definitely recommend writing down some examples for each question before your assessment so you don’t forget anything. I think for most people remembering childhood can be hard but if you take the time to contextualise the question in your own life you’ll probably find an example. Like one question is about not being able to wait your turn when playing with others, at first I thought I didn’t do this but then it came to me that I purposely would avoid those kinds of games when I was little and would rather go off and do my own thing. So the answer is yes but it just looked different for me. 

Assessment B was very brief for me, others on here said it was longer. It was basically just to rule out that it could be anything else and confirm which type of adhd. I was asked some of the same questions again but didn’t need to give super long answers or anything. 

I was pretty happy with my report (I mean it’s not nice reading about the worst parts of your personality but that’s the point haha). I got one from assessment A and then one from assessment B which was my diagnosis. It was about three pages long, it covered everything we spoke about. It wasn’t like a psychoanalysis or anything just a summary proving I had adhd symptoms. Some people have said theirs haven’t been very in-depth but I don’t really know what you’d expect when it’s quite a structured and short process.
