Getting a diagnosis for anything mental health related is very difficult when you are an adult. On top of the wait for a specialist, it is very costly (between 3000 and 5000 depending on a number of factors), and simply living life you develop many coping mechanisms and masking strategies and can cloak the need for a diagnosis. Add to that, that Gen X and Gen Y have been taught that it's better to just put it all in a bottle to swallow.
ADHD and ASD are very under-diagnosed for our age group. I'm proud of you for taking the time and effort to gain the strategies to make your life better.
