Getting tested

I am currently thinking of getting tested for ASD & ADHD. My daughter thinks i am because of how much i understand her. I am having an identity crisis. Looking back at my childhood & adult abuse makes more sense now.

It just feels unbelievable still.

I was tested for ADHD when I was like nine, and the test came back negative. They told my parents, “he just needs to make better decisions.” I was finally diagnosed with ADHD when I was 20.

@Theyitis When I was in the second or third grade I took a test in class and somehow got distracted and didn't turn it in. When the teacher discovered it she decided I was just smarter than the other students and didn't want them to know. Go figure.

@Theyitis Ha. A lot us get "you're only seeking attention," too.
