Every time I remember the story about not turning in any schoolwork for 2 years, I'm flabbergasted. There's literally no American school that would allow that for any reason without throwing you out or having you completely repeat entire years of classes. Of course, American schools function differently and don't have exams like the GCSE.
Just FYI, your diagnosis isn't quite like your analogy, yes. It would be more like a diabetic who has a choice of treatment than a true insulin dependent diabetic. A non-insulin dependent diabetic usually starts with diet and exercise changes before medication, especially younger people. For you, that would be all of the organizational techniques you had been using. Needing insulin would be more medically like someone who can't get a handle on life with ADHD or they feel like they need help because everything they already do isn't enough and/or they are white knuckling life and medication would relieve that. :) I am glad you can get medication when you need it. You're absolutely right that it might do you a world of good. Imagine the "hoops" you had to jump through and add having to pay for everything personally and you'll have a small peek into the US system, but without having the chance of not being authorized to get a treatment.
Thankyou for video. I have my assessment tommorow and im a wreck. Can't even move off sofa waiting already.
How did it go? xxx
@@MummyofFourUKI have no idea until my feedback appointment 😢. I hate waiting so praying it's not long
This resonates soooo much with me.
Have you had an autism assessment too?
I've had screenings and they didn't show asd x
Were the children also assessed for ADHD also?
