I'm on the road to Diagnosis!
After the bizarre experience seeing the psych doc I posted in another thread about I was hopeful and anxious about seeing the new/old doctor who could get me referred.
I had my visit and managed to explain briefly enough what brought me there, and in retro-circumspect that I may be misdiagnosed as ADHD. He was as confused as I was about why my former doctor prescribed me ADHD meds and his successor wanted to throw antipsychotics at me. After I told him what happened he suggested I file a complaint against that doctor.
Anyhow I feel it was a very productive visit, he referred me for formal ADHD testing "to rule that out" (or my hope that there is enough comorbid to be able to get the meds that do help with EF without being stigmatized about it) but his on-the-surface opinion is a 'gut feeling' that I'm somewhere on the spectrum.
It will be a relief to confirm it one way or the other

Congratulations on finding such a helpful and caring doctor! May the road bring you to a place of understanding and healing.
