i also could just be overthinking it completely bc i was expecting more of a fix for what’s wrong with me when i got treatment for adhd but it’s only helped with my focus a little and nothing else, i just wanna know if i should go through the effort of getting testing or just take the adderall and try to be happy
Never got diagnosed officially just unofficially by therapist and a lot of friends. I don’t plan on getting an autism diagnosis because I can get all the accommodations I need with the ADHD diagnosis easily and there’s more ways you can be legally discriminated with with an autism diagnosis.
You can find out a lot about Autism from autistic people online (find people using “actually autistic” hashtag or in titles or whatever) and see if that explains anything or gives you helpful tools. There’s not medication for Autism anyway and the specifically for autism therapies are about learning to socialize and more for younger kids. And the testing process is more expensive and all that. Ultimately you’re choice, but because of cost and it making you more open to discrimination, it’s good
