Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

More likely you will get the diagnosis then. It's a family blessing.

Can I ask what some of your symptoms are, and what meds your sister is on?

Sorry I haven't asked what meds shes on.

For myself, I've noticed a dramatic change in my ability to concentrate over the past couple of years, which I think the change may be because of changes that mean I need to be more self-organising and more reliant on myself to keep my concentration.

That, along with my sister's diagnosis, is the main thing that's led me to thinking it's a possibility.

After looking up symptoms, I identify with a few like chronic procrastination, forgetfulness, fidgiting, trouble keeping thoughts straight in my brain, constantly tired, get bored easily, can't pay attention to someone even when they are talking directly to me, etc. I can't even pay attention to what I'm saying. There are also other symptoms that I don't really associate with.

A lot of these things I have techniques to mitigate, but it's often a daily struggle.
