A result from the quiz Are You Ready for Your ADHD Assessment?
You're On the List
The wait is long. You can use some of it to get ready.
You've been referred and you're waiting, which can feel like being stuck in limbo. Waits for adult ADHD assessments in the UK are often long, so it makes sense to use some of that time.
Preparing doesn't mean hours of work. A few notes a week about real moments, and a word with someone who knew you as a child, make the day itself much easier.
The stages
- Just starting
- Waiting
- Getting ready
- Ready
Things to try
- Once a week, note one real moment that was hard, with what happened.
- Ask a parent, sibling or old friend what you were like at school.
- Check where you are on the list, and whether Right to Choose could be quicker if you're in England.
A next step
Unstuck, the iPhone app.
Unstuck turns the wait into a 12-week plan: a short lesson each week, a prompt to add to your story, and a PDF in your own words to take on the day. Join the waiting list.
