I was tested by someone who came to my school when I was about eight years old because my parents were concerned. They diagnosed me as being lazy.

30+ years later and my kid is going through the same thing. The workers at the nursery are decent though, and suspect neurodiversity. A couple of appointments later and my kid gets an autism and ADHD diagnosis. My wife and I speak to them because my symptoms are so similar, and they said that from the conversations we had about my kid, they assumed that I had already been diagnosed.

I'm now 45 and still on a waiting list for an official diagnosis 😫

Knowing is half the battle.

I was one of those "gifted children that was too lazy" and my mother was one of those "nothing can be wrong with my child or it reflects poorly on me!" and I got diagnosed with full blown ADHD at 29.

Therapy and drugs are great. And I'm glad you were aware enough to get your child tested. Early is for their best.

Mine used to scream at me for being lazy all the time, and now she wonders why I don’t talk to her about anything πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Doing stuff is hard for me and i really don't want to do it. Maybe i have some illness.

well, maybe, maybe not. It's a symptom.
