    I’ve been recently diagnosed as an adult and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I like to joke that the ADHD diagnosis process with Kaiser Permanente is set up so that if you actually complete it, it’s proof that you don’t have ADHD.

    I also want to say I was saying this before Gianmarco Soresi started doing an almost identical joke.

        Fascist policy toward disabled people is to sort them into those who are useful to the capitalist machine and those who aren’t, and kill those in the latter category. Liberal policy toward the disabled is the same, except they use social murder instead of bullets and gas chambers.

      I’ve been trying, but despite having a public health system that in theory supports mental health, the cost is at least $5000 for a diagnosis and likely closer to $10000. So no point I guess.
