So I kept seeing the memes and identifying with them, until I started asking you questions, which lead to asking how to get diagnosed. And after a visit to the neuro and a questionnaire later, I’ve joined the club. TBH, it lifted a weight off my shoulders.

I will begin treatment as soon as the damned insurance clears the request for medicine. I’m hopeful about the future.

    Where are you from? I’ve got mixed messages about whether the questionnaires and stuff are “official,” despite the fact that they’ve given me meds. I assume you haven’t been given a certificate or anything?

      I’m Canadian, but I was diagnosed with a 15 minute phone call with my GP. Granted, I have professional training in this area, and had examples prepared to match DSM criteria, but adult diagnosis can be very straightforward.

        I’m in California and they’ve been super vague with me. Anyway I’m happy for you!
