Fucking sad, the state of ADHD assessments/access. It abs should not be as fucking hard as it is. I was super priviledged in how mine went down in a publicly funded system (even then I wouldnt saybit was a cakewalk for someone way less adept at moving thru the system as I am) but i know tons of people even here struggle to get past even like referralc, let alone assessment+diagnosis+prescribed by GP
America is god-level/boss-level ADHD land. It seems that system is alwaya fucking set up in a way that lets the elites do or get whatever they want easily and leaves everyone real behind in the dust
