So I went to my doctor and was like “yeah my counselor said I should ask about the process to get tested for ADHD because of XYZ”…
He then had to gently explain that a year ago he had referred me to a local pysch for testing because I already took the ADHD assessment.
Anyway, long story short, after doing testing (which I showed up for on the wrong day the first time) I got an official ADHD diagnosis.
Probably depends on state or whatever what requirements are.
They had me do a test using a VR headset, and I was like “Oh this will be fun!”
No, it wasn’t. I had to stare at a VR aquarium and press a button based on instructions for 20 minutes like
“If you see a clown fish, then a blue fish, press the button” or
“If you hear me say Sturgeon, or you see a clown fish, press the button”
“Press the button if you hear the name of any fish that isn’t a clown fish, or see any fish that isn’t a sturgeon”
Apparently I did VERY poorly on instruction switching, with it taking several minutes between tasks for me to get the instructions down where they like bleed together. Also like little kids would walk in front of me, or a phone would ring, or TVS would flash.
