Hi all,

I’ve recently completed an assessment and gotten an official diagnosis (and have even started titration in the last few days).

My assessor mentioned that an ADHD Coach would be a good option for me, to help me with structure and self-management (not sure if this is linked to his suggestion that I should also research Autism & diagnosis?). From what he was saying it sounded like this could also be covered under the RTC umbrella, but I can’t actually find anything that would back that up.

I’ve got private insurance but unfortunately ADHD and Autism are excluded (all development disorders are which is a bit daft), so I am just trying to figure out if it’s something I’d need to pay for out of pocket.

Thanks in advance for the help :)

P.S. I used ADHD-360 as my RTC provider, happy to answer any questions about the process with them if anyone is looking for some insight.

Def look into all that but I love the idea of using c/adhd as an analogue to that and sharing successes, tools, ask for advice etc. Keep posting adhd stuff and if everyone does that, we'll have a pretty deece resource and quasi-support group. People can't always pay so its good to keep things open-source however possible and if others have a coach, maybe they can pass those questions on some times :)

I really hope so!

If anyone has any questions about using adhd 360 as their RTC provider as well I am happy to answer them (I’ll add that to my post as well!)
