Welcome back, I am now sharing with you all the journey of my diagnosis as now I've been told by the accessor from SPELDADD Palmerston North that they are located in the Grand Hotel, Square Edge, Palmerston North, and the website is https://www.speladd.org.nz/ that it's now leaning towards the diagnosis of ADHD.  This reassessment for my diagnosis was recommended by two people and they were Nick Stoneman  from Disability Advisory Trust in Christchurch NZ you can contact him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NZDisabilityAdvisoryTrust and the other recommendation was from my connect at Manawhaikaha Palmerston North that's under MidCentral Health or Ministry of Health NZ and that their  contact details are https://www.manawhaikaha.co.nz/

What happened during the time of my diagnosis she asked me a few questions as they do to get to the conclusion of what diagnosis it is,

 who diagnosed me, when, what I do for my diagnosis (treatment and/or therapies), and what medications - do I take any? 

I told her my views about medications and then did the three-hour assessment.

After the assessment was completed, she gave me a few recommendations based on my results completed.

So, you may have so many questions to self-diagnosing yourself based on the diagnosis that you suspect that you may have. Do you think is it worth it? Is it safe Why do people self-diagnose? Is it valid for getting an autistic diagnosis or even sometimes for mental illnesses?    Many late-identified autistic adults choose not to seek a formal autism diagnosis, but is self-diagnosis of autism valid? It's a common question that many of us need to face in the journey to understand ourselves and what autism means in our life. You will have to watch/listen to my answer to this question. Enjoy.   *ABOUT ME*

Have you ever wondered to yourself if you wanted to get the diagnosis and didn't know what to do or even knew that you had something that may have propped up as a formal diagnosis? Self-diagnosis is common among adults on the Autism Spectrum. While some receive a late Aspergers diagnosis, those who discover Aspergers/Autism for themselves don't always choose to follow up this self-discovery with an official diagnosis. Here today, I am officially sharing with you more about having it with the pros and cons to help you to decide is it worth it or not. As you're aware that most of the time, I do love to have lists to balance up the pros and cons of any given situation that I'm facing to come up with a possible solution. I hope that this helps you all today.

Getting an adult autism diagnosis is fraught with uncertainty, and once you’ve had your "lightbulb" moment that you think you might be autistic, the first thing you have to figure out is “should I get assessed for autism?”  There are many pros and cons to getting a late autism diagnosis, and while this video is not comprehensive, I talk about the various factors that might help you decide whether or not it’s worth pursuing an autism diagnosis in adulthood.
