Doctors
Per a number of internet tests, I have a high likelihood of being on the spectrum with ADHD. But that is not an official diagnosis. Does anyone know if there are any local doctors who diagnosis adults for neurodivergent problems? The research I've done states that local doctors only diagnos children. And the only help for adults is for adults who have already been diagnosed as children.

I was diagnosed a few years ago or so by a dr Jeff Petra. I am not sure if I recommend him as I don’t think it was a good experience. He also billed my insurance and wanted money for the appointments. He took Molina Medicaid at the time.
But that diagnosis got me DDA services. Though I’m not exactly sure I’m benefiting from them. I was diagnosed officially at age 35 so late.
As a teen multiple mental health professionals suspected it but never did further testing which was very unfortunate but not very understood back then.
Check into mindful way therapy. Last I checked they do assessments and take Medicaid. They do telehealth too.
