hi guys, sorry to bother you with this BUT a member of the NI local assembly has set up a petition in support of commissioning adult ADHD diagnostic services, which we do not currently have here (if you want to be assessed for ADHD as an adult here, you have to go privately, which costs a lot of money).
this petition will be presented to the NI assembly on Tuesday (23rd April), so we have until late on Monday to get as many signatures as we possibly can. please sign and share, and make sure you check your spam/junk folder to confirm your signature or else it will not count.
Signed! I’ve been struggling the last half year or so with getting an adult diagnosis here in the US so this is an issue I feel pretty strongly about. The gatekeeping is ridiculous.
yeah it’s very very close to my heart honestly. it’s just… like I wanna say the situation, at least where I am, is inhumane. you really have no choice but to pay upwards of £700, and even if you can afford that the waiting list is still over a year. the fact that this is being headed by an actual MLA and not just a random person gives me a little bit of hope, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
