This is my first application cycle post ADHD diagnosis. My diagnosis confirmation was very tailored towards workplace adjustments as I am now a worker, so I went into this not knowing or thinking to ask for extra time for tests. As someone newly diagnosed, I thought I just had to do my best with the time given. It was only once people mentioned it in the forum that I realised I could ask for extra time (although it was too late for my car crash test with Ashurst). For some people who have just struggled without knowing what could help, positive discussions and examples are incredibly useful.
Let's be mindful that people's circumstances are different, diagnosis providers and what information they offer are different and frankly, people are handling or coming to terms with their needs differently. It can be daunting asking for adjustments for a myriad of reasons. We are all here to support and learn from each other while trying to reach a common goal of getting that TC!
