Honestly my mom said it was five minutes and they asked really concrete questions. Plus they absolutely can do it without that if your parents are no longer living. Don’t let that be the barrier to seeking support if you need it.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I’m also AuADHD. I think delayed emotional processing is really common for us. I had better luck seeking trauma therapy (bottom up) rather than talk therapy. I hope you find someone who can guide you through this. Your hard feelings are valid. I hear you.

Why are so many therapists unwilling to consider the possibility of undiagnosed adhd and/or autism? Why are so many people begging for help and not getting the information they need on their neurology to inform the therapy and perspectives? What needs to happen to create a more understanding and collaborative space for ND informed mental health support? How do you find that support in the current climate?

Anything AA based will. But there are alternatives to most things that are not.
