He was assaulted in #London, and hurt. Photos of his wounded condition at the link.

Not the #PrideMonth look he was going for. And so chilling, a reminder to watch out for violence at events.

If you have a private ADHD diagnosis, please listen:

You are valid
Your diagnosis is valid
Your struggles are real
You are not an impostor

#ADHD #BBC #Panorama

Luke Bonaccorsi

A lot of folks who go private for a diagnosis get diagnosed, but there is selection bias at work here.

If someone is pursuing a private diagnosis, they will generally be pretty confident that they'll have a positive outcome. Nobody is spending £1k on a speculative diagnosis.

#ADHD #BBC #Panorama

The framing from the BBC makes it look like all private clinics are frauds, and this is already having hugely negative impacts on people.

I've already seen stories of people being refused shared care by their GPs and people
losing support from family members while trying to get a diagnosis.

#ADHD #BBC #Panorama

Luke Bonaccorsi
4 weeks ago

A "journalist" faking ADHD to get a diagnosis isn't some slam dunk, it's defrauding a doctor.

There's also the fact that the NHS consultant knew that he was meeting with a "journalist" whereas the private clinics didn't, which could have a huge impact on the diagnostic process.

#ADHD #BBC #Panorama

I've not been around much because ✨Life Chaos™️✨, but yesterday the publication of an article and documentary by the BBC about a "journalist" faking ADHD to get a diagnosis has enraged me.

I paid to go through a private diagnosis because my undiagnosed and untreated ADHD was destroying my life. The NHS kept rebuffing me and even if I did get referred, it would have taken years because of the chronic underfunding the NHS has received since 2010.
