Call me crazy, but I think ADHD assessment and treatment for ADHD should be ADHD-friendly.

You shouldn't need good executive function to access ADHD assessment and treatment. And the fact that you do shows who's designing these systems

@structuredsucc YES, this is EXACTLY my experience. This is what I went through trying to get my kid an appointment for assessment, and on top of my own frustration, I kept thinking, "The system wants to treat my kid as an adult but there is NO WAY they could have navigated all this on their own." 😭

The U.S. (mental) healthcare system is infuriating. I had to seek mental healthcare for my college-aged kid. They already have a mental health provider, but that provider recommended a service they don't offer themselves. This meant we had to: 1. Wait for the mental health provider to do whatever they do behind the scenes so my kid's PCP could actually make the referral. 1/ #MentalHealthCare #HealthCare
