Hi. I have been wondering how to get an assessment for neurodivergence as I seem to struggle with some day-to-day things. I seem to relate to a lot of memes from the adhd and autism communities. I also seem to have a good amount of traits that overlap with autism and adhd.

How did you get your diagnosis? Do you have any advice regarding obtaining an assessment?

  • I only first heard of it through my diagnosis myself, but it explains a lot about my difficulties controlling my emotions. There is no middle ground; it’s either full volume or off. If I’m sad, I’m depressed. If I’m angry, I’m seething. If I’m happy, it’s euphoric. Or I’m just entirely numb to the point where I felt maybe I was sociopathic or something.
