Yup. Wonderful memories of childhood when people were asking me "what are you trying to achieve" and I'm just sitting there thinking "I just told you I can not function like you want me to".

Currently trying to get the relevant Government Agency to stop calling me about my mental health issues and just e-mail me instead.

I think I may have ADD. But I think I also have autism. Now I've read about PDD-NOS, but is that still a thing? And how easy would it be to diagnose my cocktail of things?

ADHD is usually fairly easy to get evaluated for, depending on where you're located. Getting evaluated for autism as an adult is usually much more difficult.

Good to know. I have an appointment in the new year. Long waiting list ofcourse.

Pretty sure it's been changed around a bit lately but for shits n giggles, look up NLD (Neurological Learning Disorder) and see if that fits as well :p

Thanks for the rabbithole, hehe. Also quite fits.

It's more helpful to think of it as one thing, your thing. Better than collecting diagnoses as some people are fond of doing. All these conditions overlap because the etiology overlaps.

Personally I was diagnosed with NDD-NOS, basically the same as what you're describing, with the understanding that it most closely matches ADHD-PI in terms of specific disorders.

I agree. One single diagnosis in which stuff fits is probably better than multiple seperate ones.

Interesting, I did not know about NDD-NOS. I'll have a read. Thanks.
