Wow, this all sounds like me… so informative! What’s the first step to get a diagnosis? GP referral to a specialist? Xx
A GP referral and then assessment and diagnosis by psychiatrist. A psychiatrist needs to diagnose an adult and can prescribe medication, a psychologist can not diagnose adults or prescribe medication (they can diagnose children but still not prescribe).

also maybe join an ADHD women Facebook group to find out more and connect with others, and look at resources online. ABC iview has a great video up with Em Rusciano speaking to the press club about her own experience with late diagnosis I’d recommend.

I’m so grateful to the tattler that explained how Jessi shows evidence of adhd. I couldn’t articulate it like you did but wanted to so badly. I actually felt shut down by others here when I spoke about it. So thank you!

I’m sure it’s Googleable, but they did a great ADHD live blog that day where they answered a heap of questions too.

Why coffee? Wouldn’t you write ‘milkshake’ or ‘hot chocolate’ or whatever the kids drink?
this kind of just shows that she’s thinking about what she wants to do with these tasks, not from the perspective of the child reading it.

Came to say the same. She’s filled it with chocolates because it’s easier and hasn’t put in any real effort. She also said the activities included going to the park or for a swim (no doubt at the neighbours) because they’re achievable. Those activities are basic activities for kids, they shouldn’t have to wait for an advent countdown to go to the park! She goes out and gets coffee and a treat every day, but now will only do it the day it pops up in the calendar, ok Jessi. tit parenting!

Perhaps it varies by state. Which is good though, opens up more options if you can be diagnosed by a psychologist in your state. Although perhaps a more expensive route if hoping for medication to assist in managing symptoms as you’d then have to pay to see the psychiatrist too. Jessi - are you taking note?

Yes, perhaps it does vary by state.

Yep that's why I went straight to a psychiatrist for my assessment as I knew I wanted to try medication first and then therapy with a psychologist along side that later on which I'll be starting in the new year!

Yeah that was really sad. Christmas is meant to be special, not basic everyday things like the park and a swim :( may as well had one that said "brush teeth"

In a week we’ll get a story about how she had to redo it because she put ‘go to the park’ on a school day and she couldn’t possibly do that. That would be a weekend Phil activity.

Hi, just on psychologists- they can diagnose ADHD if it’s in conjunction with Autism assessment, as the 2 disorders crossover so much. But i had to also see a psychiatrist (who also diagnosed me with ADHD) to get access to prescription meds for ADHD 🤗

I’m a long time lurker “hi!” but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing about the ADHD. I’ve been seeing a psychologist again for anxiety, and she recently brought up the possibility of having ADHD. I’ve gone to my gp for a referral to the psychiatrist but I’ve been sitting on it. Mainly because I looked up the clinic where I was referred to and there were reviews saying it was hard to get through and then it became a too daunting task so I’ve been avoiding it.
But you may have motivated me to get it done as all I want for myself is to feel like a somewhat effective human as I currently do not feel like that.

She doesn’t deserve to receive all these PR packages from Disney or Elf on the shelf. She doesn’t put in any effort with her kids. It’s so sad to think that some families would love nothing more than to have have these things to create memories with their families and she forgets about it and doesn’t go to any effort at all. She didn’t know where the elves were but it was important for her to do a pickle challenge. Of course Phil knew where they were because he is the only parent in that house. It’s not even Christmas chocolate in the advent calendar. I know that doesn’t matter but gee you can try a bit harder when it’s about your kids!

Good on you! It’s a hard process and for those of us with ADHD or suspected ADHD, it involves executive function, which none of us with ADHD have - making & attending multiple appointments (on-time), filling in assessments, potentially trying to find school reports (to show evidence ADHD was present as a child) & waiting! Lots of waiting & patience required. None of this is easy and you will want to give up multiple times (ADHD related task avoidance is real!). But if you can stick with it, it’s honestly worthwhile! Best of luck 🤗

So bleeping busy, “working, working all week”… yet the fence painting still isn’t finished and your albums still aren’t all out. It’s Thursday. What the duck else have you been doing??
The fact they even started painting the fence when they still had a pile of albums waiting to go out was shocking to me.

I can’t believe those albums haven’t gone out yet 🥴
