    NOPE! Absolutely not! Don't use it to beat yourself up!!! You're AWESOME! And don't forget it.

    One thing to keep in mind is if you have ADHD (or autism) it's highly likely people in your family might too❤️

    So glad you got a diagnosis @Strawberry1! Don't worry about getting the assessments mixed up, it's all very confusing. I've got my fingers crossed that the autism assessment isn't too far away.

    Hi @Albus_Scope , hope you are feeling a little better today . Lots of pesky germs going around. Hope you're rid of them soon . I hope you don't have too long a wait for your Adhd assessment. I keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. I feel a bit like my head is in a spin at the moment. Feel like I just want to be quiet. I will get my head around this eventually. Thank you again for your support. Take care of yourself and keep being you . All the best 👍

    Thanks @Strawberry1 very kind of you to ask. I'm still full of lurgy, but I have a few days off to lay about soon, so it's all good. 😊

    It's totally natural to be feeling a bit out of sorts after a diagnosis, it's a lot to take in, so take your time and just try to be gentle with yourself. 💜

    Now I have part diagnosis I was thinking of getting a sunflower lanyard . Would I be doing anything wrong if I wore one ?

    I would probably have it around the neck obviously lol but underneath the t-shirt for the rest of it ?

    It's a personal decision @Strawberry1, some people prefer not to wear them and others find it helpful. If you feel it would be helpful to you then you should go for it. 🙂

    Thank you @Adrian_Scope . I don't think family members would want me to wear one . I've sent off for one . I wouldn't be ashamed to wear it I don't think 🤔. I would class it as part of who I am I suppose . Thank you for your support 🙏. I hope you have a reasonable day today 😊.

    It is a part of who you are @Strawberry1, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. If your family somehow wouldn't want you to, I would explain to them what it means to you. They should accept that.
