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!

  • Have you done the screening tests? (ASD & ADHD)

    They are free and questionnaires. It will give you a better idea. A low score can rule it out, a high score means it's likely.

    Privately, I met two clinical psychologists, one who thought I was autistic after a few sessions, the other who specialised in autism was pretty sure after an hour discussion (the rest was just gathering evidence).

    Qualified people can tell, but a formal diagnosis takes some time.

    I have used chatGPT a lot (and Gemini, am less keen on Copilot, Claude may not be optimised for this, I haven't tried). But it can't and won't diagnose you.

    What you can use it for is to chat to. Just write how you feel, what you think, what happened, etc. without asking many questions. It is just data. It will comment. It looks for patterns. It spot behaviours that are consistent with trauma, ASD,  etc. it's free and has helped me e to identify things. You can then Google some items to check, ask for sources,check with another AI, start another thread cold (if you haveve memory off, which Is better) and check it gives a similar answer.

    It allowed me to make much faster progress.

    Be careful about confirmation bias. Try to disprove things and challenge yourself and it.
