Hi,
I'm male, 36 and newly diagnosed ADHD. I've also have my Autism assessment with my feedback appointment around 2 weeks away.
Currently out of work and struggling.
I'm just looking for advice and guidance really.
For the last year, it seems like everything has gotten worse which is why, after advice, I finally asked to be referred to be assessed.
Now I'm at the end stages, my anxiety has gone through the roof and it feels like I can no longer nor do I want to mask anymore.
I keep overthinking that I've not given enough information for the Autism side of things and that I won't be diagnosed. After researching everything I possibly could, I feel the Autism fits more than the ADHD.
Another worry is then having support in place, if I am diagnosed.
With the ADHD, I kind of feel like I've been left to it. I was added to a waiting list for titration but advised it may take a while and that was it.
I am also going to make contact with ADHD charities and support for it but for the Autism I just wanted to know how others have coped with it. How to take your mind off it while waiting a result and what you did after being diagnosed.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Mister B
