Stacey Cornelius 🇨🇦<p>[Long post] My unhelpful brain has been grinding on the disappointing (understatement) <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> assessment last week.</p><p>Here's my conclusion, which might be helpful for someone thinking about paying for an online assessment:</p><p>You need to make sure *exactly* what the practitioner/practice is licensed to assess. Those details may not be 100% clear on their website.</p><p>If they're only licensed/permitted for one thing and you suspect you're dealing with a combination (like <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> &amp; ADHD for example), they may not be able help you.</p><p>So as soon as they realize you're outside the assessment criteria they're licensed for they could close and lock the door. They can't even offer advice aside from "Find a psychiatrist" because – and please note, this is only an educated guess – if something goes wrong they could be legally liable. </p><p>I hate that this is "buyer beware" but here we are. I thought I'd done my due diligence. I scoured the web for reviews. I read all the Reddit threads. I emailed the practice twice before booking.</p><p>But the thing that didn't occur to me was what happens if your neurodivergent brain is a combo pack. And that's what did me in. "Find a psychiatrist." Exactly what I was trying to avoid because extensive wait times as well as gender and age biases.</p><p>(Nice try, sunshine. Spent the cash. Nope.)</p><p>The entire system is a hot mess. Publicly-funded as well as privatized services.</p><p>I hate posting this deeply personal information. But what I hate more is knowing how many people end up face-first into the same brick wall I just ran into. We need to have each others' backs. So 🤷🏻‍♀️</p>
azteclady<p>For anyone who is struggling with disabilities that aren't always visible, or where what you can do on any given day changes depending on a multitude of factors, I recommend this video by Jessica McCabe of "How to ADHD": universal design for the person we are in our worst days, to help us succeed (or at least manage), no matter what.</p><p><a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/UniversalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalDesign</span></a> <a href="https://romancelandia.club/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FomGKijFCc8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=FomGKijFCc</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p>
kamikat<p>The <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> feeling of not knowing what you are supposed to be doing because you know you have to do EVERYTHING</p>
Random Geek<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lgbt.io/@SwedishSoap" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>SwedishSoap</span></a></span> curiosity and just the right amount of anxiety. Not too much and not too little on the anxiety. "Interesting" is an acceptable substitute for curiosity, but not as effective.</p><p>And if curiosity or at least interest isn't there, anxiety quickly goes from helper to hindrance for my own flavor of <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a>.</p>
Christian Backes<p>Sidenote: Es gibt von dieser Regel natürlich Ausnahmen - sie trifft primär auf einen wöchentlichen Arbeitsstack zu der erledigt werden will. Typisch <a href="https://social.saarland/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> gibt es aber massive Hochs und Tiefs und die verfälschen jedes Gefühl von getaner Arbeit massiv.</p>
Christian Backes<p>Eine wichtige <a href="https://social.saarland/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> Lektion: Egal wie viel oder wenig du gefühlt gemacht hast - mach trotzdem pünktlich Feierabend, denn dein Gefühl täuscht dich sehr wahrscheinlich.</p>

Very Late Diag<p>I was diagnosed <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> one year ago - and I'm still a bit bewildered! Still have lots of questions, and I suspect many of these questions won't have nice, happy, yay-for-neurodivergence answers. But I am starting to accept that my <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> and <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> are real, not imagined or misdiagnosed. Build from there, I guess?</p>
Jess F<p>My <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> brain went wild this week and I created a document of 10 project ideas (and growing) for advocating for <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archives</span></a> </p><p>I am actively working on 3 of these projects, which is my max capacity.

Stacey Cornelius 🇨🇦<p>Back in 2002 I landed in the ER twice due to what I now know was <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> burnout. They shrugged and turned me away. It took months to recover.</p><p>It's 2025 and I'm more tired now than I was then. Last week's "I can't diagnose you with <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> because it's too complicated" pretty much gutted me. </p><p>But there are deadlines and commitments looming so on we go somehow. </p><p>The system is a gong show.</p>
