“Don’t forget to return the questionnaire with ambiguous questions and the documentation you need to gather at three separate places by calling a dozen disparate people by the end of next week”
You start to wonder whether it’s an elaborate play to keep dx numbers down.
I am honestly so fucking glad my parents did the work to set up an evaluation when i was a teen… I’ve seen friends go through diagnoses and it’s so difficult to manage.
It’s especially effective for those when an executive function disorder 😉
