#assessment

has anyone had a doctor get irritated with them for asking for a second assessment for something else after getting assessed and diagnosed for one thing already? this is as in like mental health/mental disorders not physical ones.

has anyone in a relatively similar situation ever had a doctor be upset with them for something like this?

I got diagnosed w adhd like a year and a half ago, but I’ve been doing some research lately and I kind of feel like I might be autistic too. the only thing is that my family was kind of irritated with me for suspecting/getting assessed for adhd so I don’t want them to think that I “just want more things wrong with me”.

is it possible that my doctor will think the same? I don’t want to upset her and I feel like she already doesn’t like me anyway.

ive been having kind of a hard time lately and my family is almost always angry with me for things possibly related to autism (sensory issues, discomfort with plans being changed on short notice, missing things that I “should have known”, stuff like that). I’m having a lot of trouble dealing with the fact that my presence bothers them so much and I’m kind of worried that if I ask for the assessment, and it comes back negative, they’ll be even more upset with me. not only that, but the reason that I’ve been so apparently insufferable will simply have been my personality.
