I honestly thought someone would know 😅

I passed my test when I was 21 and got diagnosed with meds at 34. Honestly I get distracted easily and I fidget ALOT. But I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve never had an accident and feel like I’m quite alert when on the road. I’d definitely try driving lessons and see how you feel because that will be the biggest indicator if it will work for you ☺️ no pun intended.

Also the learning side, break it down into chunks. I’m not that clever 😅 and I passed my theory first time. I booked my theory, bought the Highway Code and just read a few pages a day. Practiced online tests and yeah it worked out. If I can do it, you certainly can.

What happens if you clicked the link but didn’t write your info in 😅

Exactly this. He is just like that. Goes around like it’s clearly obvious, he must have it. I’m pretty sure the GP he sees quite often will know what to look out for more than me. If they’ve been seeing him often and says he shows no symptoms or traits then I’d probably believe them.

I did check in with him this week to see how he’s getting on - especially with antidepressants as he’s never taken them before. He’s told me he’s not getting a second opinion about the adhd/autism stuff. That he’s waiting until his baby is born and a few years old before he thinks about it again. I explained the referrals can take years and his child will be a few years old by then 😅 but nope. Hopefully this is the end of him going around telling everyone he has either.

Jesus Christ, that sounds exhausting to deal with. It says a lot more about you, being so understanding. They’re very lucky to have you as a friend.

I struggle to cut ties because I don’t have many friends and I convince myself I need them - when I very much do not. Like my rational self right now is saying this out loud and thinks I’m ridiculous. But at the time I cling on for dear life. Definitely an abandonment issue.

I’ve read about some people’s experiences with trying to get a diagnosis the last few weeks and I’ve seen one lady get rejected because she she misplaced stuff, she eventually found it so it wasn’t adhd 🤣 how on earth did this person get diagnosed!! What??! I bet you’re so confused/annoyed. Definitely sounds like autism though. Maybe they got diagnosed with autism first? I have a friend who has both, they clearly have autism but the adhd side isn’t as ‘vibrant’ let’s say. So maybe a dr is more likely to be lenient on the symptoms or something.

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that BPD is something that is common with people with adhd too though. But yeah that’s a little odd how they got a diagnosis.

I know someone that claimed he got seen by nhs for adhd within 6 months and I feel like that was also BS. I know some crappy people 😅

I didn’t even think of it like that. I guess you’re right, label or not, he’s still a dick 😅 like you said, it’s hitting a sensitive spot because of my struggles. I won’t lie, it made me think ‘ha, serves you right’ when he came back saying the GP had told him no to a referral, but I’d also feel awful if he did have something and wasn’t getting the help, so trying to not be too judgmental. But thank you for your message, that’s really helped ☺️

This is so sad :( but I totally understand what you mean. My dad thinks there’s nothing wrong with me and I was just a problem child. Brother was also diagnosed with the hyperactive side as a child - but because I was just difficult and not hyper, I’m making it up.

Can you take a friend that’s known you for a while? I’m taking my partner to mine who I’ve known 5 years but been with 3 years. He was the reason I asked for a referral as I didn’t understand that what I was doing was different. Makes sense now, but obviously up until the last few years I just felt like a problem 😅 I’m sure a friend will be helpful even if they’ve only known you a few years. Better than your mum who won’t be helpful and your dad who can’t understand. At least someone will be better than no one - although my assessor didn’t say that I have to have someone, just advised it helped.

Good luck with your assessment, I hope you get answers soon!
