Considering a Formal ADHD and ASD Diagnosis: Seeking Advice

Would you get a formal ADHD and ASD diagnosis after having your new psychologist mentioned that she thought it sounds like what you are dealing with. After discussing for a few sessions and her being 99% sure you have both? (After speaking with her and also listening to a podcast episode and am convinced that it fits for me also).

I think it definitely depends on your personal situation on if you want a formal diagnosis or if you need one for financial aid etc but i highly recommend reading this before deciding! Its part of the reason i chose self diagnosis for myself it was the best choice for me personally https://devonprice.medium.com/seeking-an-autism-diagnosis-heres-why-you-might-want-to-rethink-that-530e79c272a0
