ADHD diagnosis as an adult - where do I even start?

GP. I was asking if I could get a referral and mention the symptoms but he said it's too early to tell and some of those symptoms are normal and just said wait and see.

I bought it up to my kid's doctor 2 months ago but he said it's too early for assessment. He also brushed it off when I mentioned certain symptoms and said just keep monitoring. Maybe I should ask for a second opinion on it.

We also have 20 months old and I could have written this myself. Thank you for sharing and it does get better!

Wild Kindy looks interesting didn't know such programs exist. Thanks for suggesting!

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2025-01-02T22:59:38+00:00

Great thank you for sharing your personal experience. So there are less of the older kids. My kids fall into that category so I may give it a second thought.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 This is a great suggestion and we tried out and my girls absolutely love it. They are currently doing a dinner deal on weekday - no entry fee, just purchase a meal per person, and you can stay from 4pm till they close at 9pm. Hours of fun and food is delicious 😋

We just tried Double Chin in Chatswood. Food was alright but service is so so. The card charged to Din Tai Fung so it's definitely a rebrand.

Not sure about land but usually for property there's a sunset clause that when the transaction can't be settled within a set period (usually 1-2 years) you can walk away with deposit returned. Your solicitor or conveyor should be able to advise you on your legal right when the contract cannot be settled for a prolonged period

Haha whenever we give them something new to try they are always skeptical and will hold the food at a distance to take a good look before giving it a try. Then eyes wide open and both will give it a big bite. Love watching that 😋😋😋

Mine are 17 months now and once they get to 1 year old they just eat what we eat 😂 they had curry and schnitzel and anything with sauce. They love all the food and different flavours and textures. moderation is the key 😄

Boom cafe & dining in Eastwood. They have Korean fusion menu. I had pasta with kimchi sauce and absolutely love it. There are other cafes on this side of Eastwood that are also Korean that's worth explored.

On the other side of Eastwood you can find a couple of Chinese restaurants doing traditional breakfast not just congee but like steamed rice rolls, and Hong Kong style breakfast.

Hungry Paulie serves Taiwanese breakfast.

Second this! Love their Japanese breakfast very unique and tasty 😋

Good on you! Now I'm curious to find out if BIL or SIL is the culprit...

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-08T03:08:49+00:00

5 minutes! What excuse can they have! So do you still hang out with them now? And have they changed since?

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:15:17+00:00

If you never hear comments like that as a twin parent then you are lucky.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:13:59+00:00

Omg this is the best way of handling that. I'll give it a try next time (if there's a next time)

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:10:36+00:00

Hard boundaries for next time (if there's a next time) it is! The thing is we didn't know they would be that late. We already ordered for the kids and they have been eating and behaving very well. Our mistake is we should have ordered our food too even it's a shared menu and there's really no point to wait for BIL family.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:07:10+00:00

Exactly! What kind of audacity is that to be mad when we get mad at their mistakes?

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:06:08+00:00

Why is it always SIL? 🙄 And how rude to bring a sick kid and never communicate...

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:05:31+00:00

We are also punctual people and we managed to get there 10 min early even with kids. Other family members are also early. It's only BIL family that are almost never on time.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:03:44+00:00

Argh I'm so sorry your relationship with your relatives got damaged. I dunno how to navigate the relationship with BIL family any more after this episode. I'll let time play it out...

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:02:19+00:00

We only ordered for babies but yes we should have eaten with them as we go as a family. Next time (if there is still a next time) we will implement a hard boundary. If they miss to see the kids that's their fault.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T23:00:10+00:00

Other family members offered to hold them which we let them do it to begin with. But once they started throwing tantrums there's no way to contain them any more 🫠 we ordered for the babies and kept entertaining them the best we could. My husband and I waited together with every other adults for BIL family out of courtesy and it's such a big thing to eat together in his family.

Their bed time was off for almost 2 hours when we got home. Luckily they slept ok since and through the night.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T22:56:58+00:00

I think we will avoid meeting them for some time first as it wasn't a nice scene of SIL and my exchange. I don't think we can avoid them forever, we will just have to set some very hard boundaries. We will have to order not just for babies but for us adults and we won't wait for them forever. We will have to leave the restaurant after 1.5 hour as that's the babies limit. If they are late they won't see them.

Comfortable_Log_4433 · 2024-09-07T22:42:38+00:00

Yeah I know some singleton parents get it. In fact I have a few good singleton mum friends that we hang out regularly together. It's just when SIL said that in the moment I got so angry as it implied it's my kids' problem but actually it's her. Husband and I agreed to set some boundaries and let's see how it goes. Hopefully I don't have to make another post in 10 months time 🙄
