Hi. I have been wondering how to get an assessment for neurodivergence as I seem to struggle with some day-to-day things. I seem to relate to a lot of memes from the adhd and autism communities. I also seem to have a good amount of traits that overlap with autism and adhd.

How did you get your diagnosis? Do you have any advice regarding obtaining an assessment?

I also recommend writing down symptoms - For me it varies a lot from day to day and it can be difficult to remember what the more extreme symptoms are like when I'm not experiencing them.

I should have written more.

Oh well, I am keeping a vague journal now of improvements / progress.

I have noticed that the music that plays in my head constantly is a higher bitrate now. I have Backstreet Boys 'Tell me why' playing with perfect clarity.
