Relying on A.i for help..?

merseymale

Hello!

I canHello!

I can't find a GP who believes I may be in Neurodivergent in fact I can't find adequate healthcare where I live and cannot afford the two grand per test for autism &/or ADHD. 

My only resource and assessment is Claude, an A.i instance BUT is this adequate Compared to a knowledgeable human professional?

 compared to a knowledgeable human professional?

I'm seriously considering moving to the United States where I might get better help/treatment…?

Has any other people, here, found the same difficulties?

Better yet can anyone share any alternative advice for those of us in the same boat?, so to speak?

thanks in advance!

    Autism isn't treated by itself. Some co-occurring conditions may be.  Help you should be able to find in the UK if that is where you are.

    I suspect the US wont have a great service unless you pay large sums of money. In that case, both places will have it.

    For the UK, you could try a Psychologist specialised in Neurodivergence before trying a big change like moving countries. If needed, they can they hand information to a GP in the form of a report.

    For example Psychology Today using your postcode (or not) and looking for the ones focusing on Neurodivergence or searching for keywords like Autism / ADHD.

    In my opinion, a professional is preferred to an LLM, and an LLM may be preferred to no help at all. An experienced professional --but ideally not too old-- will be more knowledgeable and if you do face-to-face appointments the professional also has first-hand behavioural data.
