You're Getting Ready
You've started, and a bit more will make the day easier.
You're waiting and you've already started preparing, which puts you in a good position. A few gaps are normal: childhood information and questions for the day are the parts people most often leave until last.
Keep it simple and in your own words. Clinicians want to hear real examples, not textbook descriptions.
The stages
- Just starting
- Waiting
- Getting ready
- Ready
Things to try
- Turn your notes into a short list: work, home, relationships and school.
- Write down three questions you want answered on the day.
- If someone who knew you as a child is helping, ask them to put their memories in writing, even a few lines.
Unstuck, the iPhone app.
Unstuck's "My ADHD story" gathers your examples into a tidy PDF you can take to the assessment, plus an assessment-day checklist. Join the waiting list.
