Re: Thinking I have ADHD Combined type.

[Anonymous]

Hello Fellow Mom who most likely has ADHD! I am 43 years old, a Mother, a working Mother, an ADHDer combined type, diagnosed last year, my son is now 9 years old and he was diagnosed three years ago, and my husband is also an ADHDer combined type, and he was diagnosed two years ago. My husband and I clearly recognized our own symptoms and pursued our own diagnoses after our son was diagnosed.

Anyway, I only have positive things to say about the freedom, self knowledge, relief and unity I have experienced since receiving an official diagnosis. And it is SO nice to share this with my son as it helps me to help HIM!

For adult diagnosis it doesn’t usually take as long as for children, at least in our familie’s experience. It seems as if your process would take MUCH less than a few months. In our experience it was our son’s diagnosis that took a few months, particularly because it took the Psychologists SO long to do the testing due to issues with attention. However, for me and my husband, it was a different process.

Check it out!

Hope it helps to hear from another Mom and family, in which BOTH parents identified ADHD for themselves after their child’s diagnosis.
