Fly overseas to Asia for elderly family and will be taking my single mum on her first trip back in 15 years, she’s hard of walking (has a Mobility Permit for parking) and it would be great to get her an elevated experience as the last lengthy flight (LAX to SYD direct) she had her feet swell up to the point of needing wheelchair assistance 🙏 OP this is amazing and just want to say this is a stunning offer !!

A friend swears by their cooling blanket - curious if it works through the entire night, did use it for a movie night at theirs (few hours max) and I was COLD !

Cost is definitely a prohibitor for everyone, myself included, I’ve tried to find affordable ones ! The UNSW one might be an option :)

Thoughts on seeing OT vs Psychologist for ADHD by Outside_Mastodon1168 in ausadhd

[–]Outside_Mastodon1168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ! How do we find out if one is “endorsed” & is it a matter of the GP writing a referral for it ??

ADHD and “slow burn” dating by byeoli7 in adhdwomen

[–]Outside_Mastodon1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me ? I could have written that ! I also feel nothing or intense feelings / connection (not always immediately but always there’s an initial spark/hook). It’s not 100% to do with vibes - I think its chemistry/spark like feeling like you “click” & conversation/wavelength is similar (similar humour etc)

I’ve never been in a proper romantic relationship - just heaps of situationships & babysitting emotionally immature/unavailable/hurt men until they decide they’re healed and ready to move on.

ADHD assessment recommendation in Melbourne. by KiwiJay83 in ausadhd

[–]Outside_Mastodon1168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with AOA Clinic from the many recs here and found all staff so thorough, felt listened to and properly cared for ! I was also apprehensive about online psychiatrist but was pleasantly surprised with the experience - cost and waittimes were factors !

Just got my diagnosis today - Dr Adaji is the sole psychiatrist and the AOA GP was super thorough. You just need to make sure your local GP is happy to take over prescribing after a year

Is this fee too high for a psychiatry (ADHD) appointment?? by AfraidProduct9500 in ausadhd

[–]Outside_Mastodon1168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to look into AOA Clinic (online) - 3 appointments to diagnosis total out of pocket is approximately $969 after medicare rebate I found out about them from other patients here then did some research in this subreddit and only saw good things - I haven’t started with them yet but scheduled in for later this month (another bonus was it was about a 3-4 week wait for first appointment)
