Welcome back, I am now sharing with you all the journey of my diagnosis as now I've been told by the accessor from SPELDADD Palmerston North that they are located in the Grand Hotel, Square Edge, Palmerston North, and the website is https://www.speladd.org.nz/ that it's now leaning towards the diagnosis of ADHD.  This reassessment for my diagnosis was recommended by two people and they were Nick Stoneman  from Disability Advisory Trust in Christchurch NZ you can contact him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NZDisabilityAdvisoryTrust and the other recommendation was from my connect at Manawhaikaha Palmerston North that's under MidCentral Health or Ministry of Health NZ and that their  contact details are https://www.manawhaikaha.co.nz/

What happened during the time of my diagnosis she asked me a few questions as they do to get to the conclusion of what diagnosis it is,

 who diagnosed me, when, what I do for my diagnosis (treatment and/or therapies), and what medications - do I take any? 

I told her my views about medications and then did the three-hour assessment.

After the assessment was completed, she gave me a few recommendations based on my results completed.
