Does anyone have any tips for how to prepare for an ADHD assessment?!

I truly don’t know if I have ADHD or not and want to do what I can to put forward whatever information might be useful for the clinician to get a full picture and come to an accurate conclusion.

I’m really worried that I don’t remember a lot from my childhood, though, especially due to major events in childhood, and that I’m a very heavy masker, even to myself.

I seem to fit AuDHD types the best, which makes sense since I know am autistic. But I don’t really know how to identify the ADHD part of me. I keep thinking about stereotypes which are based on males that aren’t usually autistic as well.

I will be happy whatever the conclusion is from my assessment, whether I have ADHD or not, but ONLY if I’ve done my best to give important information. I would hate it if I came away remembering important things after the assessment is done, especially if it swayed the conclusion one way or another.

@AnAutieAtUni I was lucky enough to have all my childhood school reports to send over. Have you had anyone fill in a form from their perspective?
