Dealing with Having Diagnosis Revoked/Without a Diagnosis?
So from 12 yrs old to now (24) I thought I had ADHD. I was diagnosed at 12, my mom’s been diagnosed for YEARS, and my dad has been diagnosed as dyslexic since he was a kid. My uncle is also considered “mentally r*tarded” (he was diagnosed in the 60s/70s so I don’t know if he’s technically autistic or not by today’s standards). I just recently went for my ADHD re-evaluation, and the social worker had tested me and said she doesn’t know how I was diagnosed with ADHD, because I don’t have it…I’ve been struggling for weeks now due to that, as she said she believes I may have suspected autism, but is unable to diagnose me herself. I’ve been completely struggling trying to be “normal” even more than I do daily. It’s been getting to the point over the past 1-2 years now that I’ve been getting more and more suicidal, and this is the cherry on top. Now without my ADHD diagnosis, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I have never been treated with medication, but I’ve hit a point where I am BEGGING for something, anything to help me. It’s so difficult to do daily tasks, work is so difficult to speak sometimes and I feel my body compressing in itself, it feels. I feel mental anguish constantly. Does anyone know what I can do while I try my absolute hardest to find an autism assessor that doesn’t cost over $1k+? I don’t have anyone irl to vent to at all, so I apologize….The people in my life are sick of me.
