MODERATORS
Formal diagnosis has made little difference to my life. Nothing bad has come from it, but nothing much has changed either.
I still don't have meaningful access to medication. Even when I do have medication, all it helps with is maintaining focus. It doesn't help me initiate things or stay organised, which have been my main barriers.
