It isn’t clear yet because my professor is disorganized and vague as fuck, but I may have to do some interviews for an assignment about living with autism/ADHD/etc.

If anyone would be willing to participate that would be awesome! I think it could be cool to get perspectives from people who don’t live in the US, but it’s not required.

Thank you for your consideration rat-salute

    Do you need the people participating to be officially diagnosed?

    Edit. Oh I saw you already answered that. But I could definitely do it if you need.

    It would the pov of someone understanding they are audhd in midlife, after raising a child who is also adhd. And starting uni studies again very late in life as a result. A long story of poverty, patchy employment, the works. Context is Finland, one of them supposed Nordic welfare states.

    Im schizophrenic but im highly functioning so im not sure how useful that would be ? I take medication/see a doc all 3 months and im a “certified” schizophrenic like I got diagnosed a couple of years ago.

    Let me know if I fit what your looking for

    As long as it doesnt take a ton of time I would be open to try

    Also im not American

      I think high functioning is fine, it would mostly be quesitons about system supports and barriers, so nothing super invasive. It would be cool to get the perspective of someone with your diagnosis instead of just ADHD/autism. I would think that it would be 30 minutes at most, probably less. I’ll let you know if I end up having to do it, I really appreciate your offer to volunteer!

    I would be open to it, I have ASD. However, I was not formally diagnosed (though my psychiatrist did say that I fit the diagnostic criteria, I have to go to a designated ASD-focused centre to actually get the diagnosis; not only is this dumb but I’m no longer in my home country anyhow) and I’m “high functioning” so I don’t quite know how useful my answers would be.

    I’d be pleased to. ADHD + a couple others that are closely correlated with ASD. I’ve also been part of programs oriented towards students with learning disabilities.

    Living in the US, but have lived elsewhere for several years.
