Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate your perspective!
Many of the signs/symptoms of ADHD and ASD are things I struggle with if not daily, then weekly. But I know that there's a lot of crossover between the two, so it can be difficult to decipher, even for professionals at times. Especially when you throw in other mental health and learning difficulties, lol. So just knowing what's actually causing what would be helpful in dealing with it.
I wouldn't care to try meds at this time, but I think it would help with how I'm perceived in certain situations (like accomodations at work).
