    Yes being Assessed for both at the same time would be a brilliant idea @WhatThe

    Well Im glad your gp agreed to the adhd assessment

    Glad you found it helpful with the help from Albus

    I know i asked Albus a few questions myself

    Well i wasnt sure what was going to be asked

    I answered the questions the best i could .

    I have said many times strength in numbers

    I think its true

    Thanks for your support

    Forever grateful

    Take care

    Best wishes always

    Exactly, we don't know what we'll be asked. I remember your autism/depression thread and learned so much from it. We don't discuss it much on the forum these days.

    Yeah, it'll be hard to think about anything else for some time, Strawberry. Be prepared for them not to understand or change their behaviour. Your new diagnosis may only be important to you and that's a hard pill to swallow.

    Hello @Mary_Scope

    How are you this afternoon

    I seem to be ok at the moment I think

    Possibly still sinking in

    Hope the rest of your day is peaceful

    Best wishes always

    Glad to hear you seem to be okay @Strawberry1 😊

    It makes sense that it is still sinking in, it is a lot to take in.

    Thank you, I hope you have a peaceful day too

    Phew, the wait is over!

    I remember feeling bereft, exhausted and angry that I'd struggled for so long to make myself understood and be believed. Rest, rest and rest for as long as you need to. This is a massive achievement, Strawberry and I was sure you'd get your diagnosis confirmed!

    Autism can't be faked and no-one would choose to be autistic. We're not a little bit autistic, we are autistic and the 'levels' are not relevant at our age, ok?

    Happy Friday and lots of love from your friends here

    ❤️
