Hi. I was looking for information about ADHD and Autism every day a few months ago. I don't remember why I stopped but I did. I took some online tests I took earlier this year and all the scores dropped. I don't know what the point of posting this is. I just feel kind of lost.
Also I saw a post about how you might not get a diagnosis if you aren't male and/or white. So I tried to ask my mom what the results were from some tests I had to do in high school but I couldn't remember the name of the building I had to go to and she just stopped answering. That made me feel really bad. I thought I remembered the results being "nothing" or something like that and now I feel like I can't talk to her about it again because it would be awkward..
I don't know I just feel defeated and I remembered this place exists.

Talk to her about it. She's going to have to be involved in any kind of diagnostic process anyway. PS it's also normal for the scores to fluctuate over time check out my RAADs-R signature clicky linky thingy ok
