So I went to my doctor and was like “yeah my counselor said I should ask about the process to get tested for ADHD because of XYZ”…

He then had to gently explain that a year ago he had referred me to a local pysch for testing because I already took the ADHD assessment.

Anyway, long story short, after doing testing (which I showed up for on the wrong day the first time) I got an official ADHD diagnosis.
