Neurodivergent on Sidechat | I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, but I think I’m AuDHD. I’m too scared to tell therapist because I feel like I’m trying to say I have more disorders than I actually do. I suspected OCD, got brushed off. I just want to know what’s wrong with me. :/

if they do shy away from it atleast with autism, it could also be because it’s costly maybe? i’m in my mid 20s and suspect autism but it’s a lot more expensive to get a diagnosis vs adhd

Yeah, idk. I haven’t even brought autism up to her because I don’t want to sound like someone who’s desperate for attention and wants all the disorders in the world. I loved getting my ADHD diagnosis, because it made some parts of my life make sense. But now that I’m on meds, I’ve started acting more and more under the category of autistic traits.

Perchance it could be fruitful to pursue diagnosis regardless, if it’s within your means
