Hi there
I'm trying to find out about getting an AuDHD diagnosis.
Is there such a thing? If so, can it be done on the NHS? Online, I can only find private options which are unaffordable. I already have an ADHD diagnosis but my OCD is escalating off the scale. Having done some research, I found out about AuDHD. As Autism and OCD can appear similar, it is often missed. An initial Autism assessment came back negative so wasn't pursued. As I have now entered perimenopause, my sensitivity to sound, need for structure and routine is out of control and I'm struggling to cope.
I'm nervous about contacting my GP as the battle to get them to assist in the ADHD assessment was a nightmare. Not sure I have enough in me to fight for more help. Any info / advice or guidance on what to do would be massively appreciated.
Many thanks
joanne
