So... What oiled your gears today?

You need to have results in to seperate settings so your results in front of the wife won't result in a diagnosis.

By the way, the no 2 was diagnosed as well, but he manages without medication. We never pursued it when he was younger on account of the fact he wasn't being threatened with being exclusion from school every other week and he's decided now he's older he doesn't want to start on it as he has ways of managing.

A product of modern living? ADHD, asthma, allergies... heck even dyslexia was only just becoming a thing when I was a kid. On the other hand you can go with previously undiagnosed and there's a gazillion things we know now that no one a century before would have a clue about

As if the average uni student is going to spend 500 quid and then private prescriptions until discharged to their GP.

I was diagnosed privately. It was not a quick or cheap process.

To be fair, I didn't go in looking for an ADHD diagnosis, I didn't know what it was. Several years of therapy and experimentation to nail down the particular issues and suitable medication or other management methods.

I fully agree with Nobby on the sentiment of people who don't know anything, shutting up.

As with so many "new" things, finally recognising the issue and providing diagnosis (or legalising it) causes a sudden and exponential-looking increase in cases. This then quickly levels out at a small percentage of the population. It happened with homosexuality in the 70s and 80s, depression in the 90s -2010s, and how neurodiverse conditions and gender identity.

[Nobby the Bastard]

Just to be clear, I don't have ADHD. When I say I have to deal with it I mean having to get a 8 year old to take medication when his mother and grandparents refuse to accept it's an issue.

People going 'Oh, iTs' tHe CURrent TreNdY dIAGnoSIs' Are ignorant beyond belief. 30 years ago people didn't accept that Dislexia was a thing.

Theres a big difference between arguing about the best tool to remove a flanged sprocket and pronouncing that ADHD is made up bollocks.

It's the sacred cow of BCF.

You get the full gamut on here.

BPD
Manic
Depressive
Autistic
Dyspraxic
ADHD

etc.

Never learned a thing from the likes of Harley boy or Nobby tbh.

I don't go there because, as I say, it's a sacred cow.

Can't be that many to choose from.

5 or 6 active users, subtract the ones that have a Harley and haven't commented on your busywork project.

Resident go-to genius on all matters relating to motorcycles, Covid-19, scientific studies on mental disorders, etc.

No, the Robby.

The whole of the Workshop is currently on tenterhooks waiting for him to give his permission for a dude to fix his clutch. He's the guy who knows! Always.
