Hi. I have been wondering how to get an assessment for neurodivergence as I seem to struggle with some day-to-day things. I seem to relate to a lot of memes from the adhd and autism communities. I also seem to have a good amount of traits that overlap with autism and adhd.

How did you get your diagnosis? Do you have any advice regarding obtaining an assessment?

    Again, that depends on the country you live in. In some countries it’s as easy as seeing the family GP and then being prescribed meds. But you will pay a doc consultation fee. In some countries medical insurance is optional and you will pay for any consultation. In some countries there is free health care for all but it comes with a long waiting period. In some countries ADHD is not even recognized as a treatable condition.
