  • From experience an NHS diagnosis take MONTHS and for some isn’t worth the wait, that being said obviously a private diagnosis isn’t always an option for everyone since they’re hella pricey and not affordable for a lot of ppl (mine was £3k). I felt I had to choose the private route cuz I needed to pattern my life ASAP, being a student at the time also facing exclusions for distractive and “self sabotaging” behaviour, and my assessment was a good six months after exams.

    See your GP first and foremost and discuss your symptoms and you should get a referral.





  • The amount of times I’ve been screamed at by teachers especially in primary school for “not listening” after zoning out whilst they spoke and asked me a question, always ending with me zoning out whilst they screamed their heads off.

    Also, I always considered myself introverted and hated talking to people, or rather js preferred my own company yet I always ended up being the most distracting person in school.
