Oh, news. Said on Bsky but not here.

I have combination inattentive/hyperactive ADHD, officially.

I'm going to be starting treatment.

Hope it helps.

If you're able to, can I be a bother and ask some questions? Did you do right to choose and if so who did you go with?

I'm looking for recommendations since I had such a horrible time on the NHS, requested ICB funding for assessment outside local MH services.

@Heather 👻 I went private. ADHD360. I'm in two minds about them because I had a good experience but I know someone who had a very bad one.

Yeah it's a shit deal sometimes.

I went with NHS but am now on complaint#2. First assessment was with a yr 1 specialist GP in training, no supervisor, claimed I had the inattentive bits but no hyperactive so said it wasn't ADHD. Complained, got "second opinion" with consultant who said he thought I had ASD and refused to even discuss ADHD without school reports.

... Yup. I'm pretty sure a care plan shouldn't be "Akkikins will come back with school reports.
I refuse to see her until she produces school reports.
I've referred her for ASD assessment"
ASD questionnaires came back very unlikely to point not put on waiting list (AQ50 6/50, cambs behavioural empathy score of 69/80) so... Guess I was right? But refusal to assess me properly. Yay.

Anyway, also considering private.
