I may be moving on to the TOVA, which would sort out my symptoms and distinguish what is or is not ASD. People have told me for a long time that I may be on the spectrum somewhere but I didn’t have any documentation proving so. Now I am 27 and finally deciding to get assessed to possibly explain why I have made the life decisions that I have made. I know that I have depression and anxiety, but this test may also separate symptoms from that for a more accurate diagnosis.

    All the best. Try to relax & be an observer to it all if you can. Somehow skipped a formal assessment myself as so many records were passed over to the doctor who Dx’d me, in addition to many regular visits, but they’re a doll, and am very sure they’re ADHD also, just with support from earlier on.

    Remember, the depression & anxiety may stem from trying to live with ADHD, or be separate things.

    Meds: a revelatory help, yet not a silver bullet.
