As trite as it may sound, the months will pass faster than you think 😎 We believers on this channel know that you got this 💪 As so often it will work out well step-by-step.
The good news is that there is validation and a possible explanation that makes sense. That is at least some progress! I'm surprised that the process is so glacial, though. It seems if childhood ASD/ADHD can be diagnosed without taking months, it shouldn't be so hard to diagnose an adult... I don't quite understand that.
Hi yeah thanks! The reason is because the world of autism diagnosis has changed dramatically in the past 10 years and the healthcare system hasn't changed that fast. It used to be that it was thought that adults could not get diagnosed later in life and it used to be that you could not have both ADHD and ASD as they were thought to be mutually exclusive. Also adults have masked their entire lives and are most likely high functioning so that is harder to diagnose. But yes the whole healthcare system is very slow and unequal depending on where who live and who you meet :/
I think as INFPs we have a really good ability to just remember things. As Fi users we ruminate on the things we remember and create a value judgment after a lot of time. Its a slow process as the Fi and Si loop persists. Mean while our Ne and Te are just like "Hey! dont even care about your slow executive functioning processes. Here are a million things why you are depressed and this is what you should do about it." Meanwhile our Te sucks so much that any executive suggestion will just spiral you deeper into counter intuitive decisions, and our Te does it in a way that still placates our Fi into thinking that "Hey maybe that is a good idea."
Hello Ingrid , Sorry for hearing the process takes so long but hoping it will pass quickly. I hope you are doing better ( since you said were angry and had a breakdown in the description). Whatever the outcome of this assessment , I will stick around as you are much more than a diagnosis. Take care of yourself. Have a great day Ingrid 😊
How did you go about to get this pre-pre-pre-assessment? May I ask if it’s in the Lund/Malmö area where the queue is this long? (Just ignore this question if you don’t want to disclose your approximate location either being there or elsewhere)
Hi assessments are different and have different costs according to country and region. For me in sweden it would cost me next to nothing (80 dollars total) by going through the public healthcare to the private center, or 2500 dollars if i went direct to private.

Thank you shoomin! I will try to fill my life with fun things in the meantime 😊 and i am so grateful for the support 🥰

Thank you for your support! 😊 yeah I'm doing a bit better but I'm still tired after my breakdown.
You are welcome it's what a friend does ☺️ good to know you are feeling a bit better.
I see, hoping you will recover soon.

Hey, did you ever do the AQ or RAADSR tests?
Worthwhile paying for autism assessment and then going for ADHD or vice versa. Adhd is not anywhere near as expensive as autism assessment.

@@radishraven9 Expensive, but life changing if you are able to afford it. It gives you much quicker access to support by govt, charities etc.
@@undertheradar001 yes but now I'm in the public system and have already waited 6 months in that system so 6 months more is not that much a big deal
@@radishraven9 In the public system here, it can be over 5 years until you get assessed.
@@undertheradar001 hi yes but in this case it would only take 6 more months as public health care hires the private company in a sense
