ASD / ADHD referral questionnaire help!

Diagnosis: The Assessment

Hello!

I’m going to try and keep this short 🥲
I have finally taken the step to go through the right to choose process for both ASD and ADHD assessment.

I have the referral questionnaire and I am already struggling. I decided to write notes over the last few days, but have written pages and pages of notes for one question and I don’t know how to condense it without feeling like I won’t be taken seriously. I know I’m over thinking it. I don’t want to put bullet points for my symptoms without context and seem like I’ve googled them, but they’re so complex it’s hard to give brief context for any of them.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this. If you had this struggle please share how you over came it!
I know it will be hard because the forms vary from county to county. But how would you recommend answering them?

I was also given a paper form, which doesn’t allow much room, which is adding to my over thinking of how brief I should be haha.

I’m from Derbyshire if anyone here has had their forms recently and can help I would be really grateful!

Thank you!!!
