Second test and I'm getting nowhere,what do I do?
Second test and I'm getting nowhere,what do I do? (This is crossposted but I really need helpðŸ˜ðŸ˜)
hi! i have been having an autism and adhd dilemma and i just needed a bit of advice. Last month I took an hour long autism test and they said I met some of the symptoms but not enough to qualify for diagnosis. They said that they do think I have adhd and anxiety and gave me a recommendation to an adhd specialist. Today i went to a place that does adhd testing and we did a quick test (i basically just answered questions on a tablet) and they said i didn’t have adhd. both places i went to said i should get tested for anxiety and that was pretty much it.
the thing is, i really don’t feel like i have anxiety. not more than the average person my age and it doesn’t really affect my day to day life. so now i feel kinda stuck. i need a diagnosis to get a 504 plan for school and i only have a couple months left.
my dad mentioned that since both places brought up anxiety, i could maybe use that for the 504. but i’d need 3 teacher recommendations saying they agree with that, and honestly most of my teachers wouldn’t describe me as anxious at all. But almost all of the teachers including the principal and special education teachers stated that I should get tested for autism/adhd
i also have another virtual test coming up soon next week, but i’m not sure if it’s even gonna lead to anything different. i know something feels off with me but i’m not sure where to go from here. do you think this is something worth pushing more or should i just leave it alone?
Additionally, if it helps Im female, hijabi, black and I used to be honeschooled until second semester of 10th grade.
Any help is appreciated!
