Diagnosis for women worth trying?
Hi all,
I'm 24 years old and realised a few months ago that I'm probably AuDHD, and the more I read about it the more it confirms my idea.
I think i would need a formal diagnosis because I feel like what I live is not legitimate without it, but I'm afraid to get a diagnosis for several reasons. It's super expensive in my country, around 2000USD per diagnosis (so around 4000 in total) and I don't think that it would help me further, as I'm functional and cannot get any help anyways for work because the diagnosis is too late. And the worst that could happen for me is that the praticien doesn't recognize me as AuDHD because they don't know enough about women AuDHD. I think it would completely destroy me.
What were your experiences? Was it easy to be believed? And has it changed anything for you? Would it be worth it paying that price?
And in the mean time, if you have any advice to stop focusing exclusively in your special interest and start working on your degree instead I'd love to read it lol.
Thanks!
