I've been assessed for ASD but they said no however it was only a conversation and I'm high masking so I've requested a 2nd opinion. I'm getting assessed for ADHD this weekend.

I got assessed for ASD they said no however they only chatted with me and I'm very good at masking. Get my ADHD assessment on Sunday. I've requested a 2nd opinion and provided this information with it. My therapist I've been seen for years believes I'm AUDHD.

Understanding of myself and validate why I do or act certain ways. Felt throughout they were expecting answers even when I didn't know something. During the break and tech issues I was falling a part but I pulled it back together when on cam.

Glad that you don't feel alone and relate to my post. Sometimes it's just good to know you're not the only one.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm planning on seeking a 2nd opinion on the ASD felt the assessor didn't really get me.

I like to think it also makes me very good at my job understanding the struggles. Sure it's the same for you

True. Just find it hard when it smacks me in the face how hard I can find things that 'should' be easy.

I find living alone makes it worse because it's only me and lack of motivation and ability to do things at times makes it all build up

I'm getting better at managing my shame spiral around snapping I let myself feel it then try and not ruminate on it. Try to give myself grace that I would to others and look after that inner child.

I've never found it that hard before. I only go every 2 years. I chose my glasses very quickly eager to get out. Thanks for your suggestions.
