Choose Your Own Adventure: Pros and Cons of a Formal Autism / ADHD diagnosis vs Self-Diagnosis
by Sharyn Morrow | at Minnebar 19
An exploration of neurodiversity. This session is designed for individuals who are preparing for an assessment related to Autism or ADHD, as well as those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves in relation to Autism and ADHD, or to foster better connections with family members, friends, or colleagues who are Autistic or have ADHD. Drawing from my lived experience as an individual with late-diagnosed Autism and ADHD, as well as a parent of an Autistic child, I will offer insights that you can share with your therapist, coach, partner, or healthcare provider. Additionally, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing a formal diagnosis compared to self-diagnosis.
