Hi I'm new to all this
I have a ADHD assessment with a specialist at the this month I'm a little nervous, I decided to get checked out after watching, program about ADHD, I saw lots of traits in myself, unable to focus, blurting things out before people Have finished talk, procrastination, unable to keep my mind on task, easily distracted, also being told by my parents that I was always get report cards saying needs to pay attention, I'm just enquiring what usually happens at an Assessment. And how long the diagnosis take to start my medication and how long until I might notice a diffence. Sorry to waffle on
Regards Mikey

Hi mikeymc and welcome Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a universal way to assessment/diagnosis it it depends on where You live. . it's normal to have doubt, but if you think you might have ADHD, you're probably right. Medication can be amazing, or no help at all..what's really positive is that you know what 'it' is and how to work with it. . Good luck! And talk to us. . It can be helpful more than you might imagine

Ta! Well you're on the right track. . .
no-one wants to be ADHD, but if you have it, you have choices and acceptance. .
I actually think that you can tell ADHD from the way you are and speak. .
and that's as valuable as anything else. .
Remember that you're not defective, just different. .and fine. .

Thanks I've always known I was different, but I did not think of ADHD, being now 45 years old it is now making sense, I know it's going to take time and effort but I want to be able To move forward, and through reading articles on your site I know that I can do it and be happy and achieve my goals
Regards Mikey
