s dia mHi everyone,

My mum was telling me earlier that she'd been talking to my youngest sister on the phone and that my sister said that she was either going to or getting tested for ADHD and when my sister told our mum some of the symptoms (I think that's what our mum said) she said that it sounds like some of the ones she has.

I know that I have either a learning disability or difficulty asi found out during a phone call I had in 2024 about my LCW as the lady I spoke to must've asked me at least two different ways what learning disability or difficulty I have and I'd told her that I didn't even know that I have one as I've never been told.

I can't ask at my doctor's surgery as I don't have any photo ID as they ask for photo ID now when you ask about that or anything else on your record.

TIA Brianmcfaddenfan24

    Hell @BrianMcFaddenfan24, to be assessed for ADHD or similar conditions you would need your GP to refer you. If you are already registered with a GP you should be able to have an appointment with them without the need for photo ID. Photo ID is usually if you're asking to look at your medical records or if you are registering with a new GP.
