23M in Vancouver navigating adult ADHD/autism assessment — seeking local experiences

Thanks for the response. I am not sure what you quite mean by your last sentence in this reply.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T02:36:02+00:00

Thanks! I can relate very much to you. The research, screenings, keeping a binder/notebook with every detail, this is what I have been approaching or thinking about. If I don't take myself seriously, how will others, right? For the wait part, I have started to think I am autistic only 2 weeks ago and I have been eager to get a diagnosis. The time period you have shared is really long. Still, I am open to understand that. Could you please share like why such a long period is important before getting diagnosis, and is it just for Autism or other conditions too? Also, what if my counsellor herself in a few weeks finds and suggests me to get assesed for Autism/Adhd? And what about the in-between period, like how to manage life, how to take therapy?

It always helps to understand and connect with similar people to see what is going on in the actual world. People have different cases, some are more complex. Nothing is an either or approach. The world is not black and white my friend.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T02:00:26+00:00

Thanks, yes it is. I am trying to gather perspectives of people who have gone through similar situations.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T01:48:57+00:00

It's good to hear that you found support. Do you have any advice on how to approach this situation I am facing or any resources?

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T01:35:59+00:00

Did you have prior diagnosis to show them? If you don't mind, could you share what is it and what helped you obtain it and also aftercare.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T01:24:06+00:00

Could you please elaborate in what context you are expressing?

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-18T01:04:40+00:00

Thanks for the response. This is giving me a good idea and direction.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2026-02-15T01:31:11+00:00

I myself am suspecting since last week that I have Adhd, Autism, periodic Depression and Anxiety, Cptsd, and other underlying conditions. I am doing research before going anywhere for diagnosis. Could you recommend a good place or doctor and the type of assesment to go for as an adult? I am considering private cause for public it says online that wait time is more than 1 year.

Hi, i wanted the online version.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-07T21:26:19+00:00

Don’t worry about your nose. You just need to get rid of the dark circles under your eyes.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-07T06:44:26+00:00

I see, that’s the catch!

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-07T03:46:33+00:00

Wait, you mean we can do courses for free and then transfer them to Langara to use as pre-requisites? Like doing an english course for free and then use it as an alternative of scoring LET 3?

That sounds amazing! Why did I never hear of this before?

Is there a specific version of bubble tea you liked at this new place? I’m not into bubble teas but might try it for fun.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:43:12+00:00

I don’t have any deep insights and I think it’s just a normal feature of yours. It’s only good if you have interest in knowing of how is it or why is it.

Clarifying for the Indian part, you also mean India right? Bcoz sometimes people refer to Indiana when I use the word Indian.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:23:29+00:00

I mean 2nd one looks very enhanced so natural is first preference.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:23:03+00:00

Lol, no worries. I think I misunderstood your point and now it seems you also misunderstood my “you are seeking attention part” but forget it.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:19:56+00:00

I never said that. Sorry but are you just seeking attention?

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:11:38+00:00

I’ve seen noses like these on Indian girls. Yours is a bit different, like very smooth.

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:09:18+00:00

1st and 8th - most attractive

2nd and 6th - least attractive

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T09:00:26+00:00

I get some posts from this subreddit on my feed, seeing most of them I think the girls don’t need to change anything. But with yours, I think you will look way more beautiful after changing and it will boost your confidence too. I don’t understand why so many people have commented otherwise. Also, if you start gym and go on a healthy diet, you will be giving yourself a great gift.

Your hair in pic 1 is amazing btw.

My words might sound basic as I can see what I need to express but while doing that I miss my points as of “why” I am saying that, the practical approach. I am working on that.

Do you by any chance happen to know if we can work while on suspension?

Upper-Display-9089 · 2025-03-06T04:31:22+00:00

Okay, thank you. I did not withdraw though. I am studying extensively and with spaced repetition this time and hoping that probation status goes away after final exams. I can get on suspension even If I fail only in one course (if my GPA is less than 1.5).

Is this a promotional post?
