Hang on, I'm terrible at organising my life but nobody's giving me free speed.

Fuxache, all I got was a pamphlet and a waiting list.



That was three years ago and I'm still on the list, in case anyone wants to argue that adult neurodevelopmental support in this country isn't absolutely farked.

Wouldn be surprised if me too, not neither, it's just I've avoided capture thus far .

A friend of mine who works in MH reckon that the French are not nearly so keen on the adhd diagnoses.

They more see the whole spectrum of adhd "behaviours' as a trauma response..
Which kind of makes sense to me..

Still, whatever we call it, if the treatment / therapy works, then why not go for it.??

I agree totally.

Idiotic doctors wanted to take me OFF my Ritalin at one point as they said I outgrew it. You cannot outgrow ADHD, you just get better at handling it.

Which was responded to, by 4 different GPs, with the line 'I used to work in phsychiatry.' Well, if they did, they would know what they were saying was utter bollox.

And NHS GPs wonder why many people do not trust them? Sadly, I'm one of them after that 6 month period. :sad:

Good luck getting diagnosed on the NHS with ADHD. You'll need lots of it.

I found a farm, some kittens, a daily bodywork practice, lots of cycling dancing and walking, fresh veg, being politically involved, and talking to fellow nutters on t'internet helps quite a lot...

All that should be available on prescription and everyone would be fine...

I had a vile and vicious temper as a kid and I was taken to a phsychologist by the social workers to try and determine what the issue was. I was like Mount Etna, likely to explode at any time. Add in teenage hormones, and I was well over 6ft by this point, you could imagine their concern.

I was actually tested for Asperger's first but all the tests didn't match up (remember this was over 30 years ago so the technology wasn't there) then they went down the ADHD route and that all worked out. Took them about 3 months to get it right.

When I moved here to HK in 2014, I had to be restested, new doctor new city, and the diagnosis took about 3 hours.
