| Comment | Hey! This isn't quite the same but I had the same situation with ADHD last year (22 Female). I've never quite 'with it' and despite being bubbly and outgoing, and completing two degrees realised I totally lacked certain skills and found a lot of things overwhelming. After going to two doctors both dismissed me due to my ability to complete uni, I asked for a different doctor and next thing I was diagnosed and medicated.
​
My advice is be persistent and stand up for yourself. From what I've gathered, women are even less likely to get diagnosed neurodiverse (despite being no less likely to be Autistic/ADHD) due to masking capabilities, so be firm :-) |
