The System Map: Diagnostic Strategy
Stop guessing and start building your owner's manual. A diagnosis isn't a label; it's the data that unlocks your best functioning.
Bust the Pediatric Stigma
Late-diagnosis is plagued by outdated 1990s propaganda. Select a corrupted memory block to overwrite it with verified data.
The Tactical Checklist
Clinical encounters are data exchanges. If you walk in without a high-fidelity strategy, you risk a false negative.
Detailed records of audits on lights, sound, and tactile triggers.
Documentation of energy-drain points in daily workflows.
List of developed social scripts and the cost of deployment.
How obsessive focus is currently being leveraged or suppressed.
Validation & Identity
Adult diagnosis is an act of rebellion. It's about tearing up the pediatric brochures and reclaiming your right to be "too much."
Reclaim your identitySelf-Diagnosis vs. Formal Assessment
The first strategic fork in the road. Do you need a clinical seal or neural clarity? We break down the cost, energy, and legal impact of both paths.
