Last week I was finally diagnosed (via ADHD360 RTC) and at the end of the assessment the clinician mentioned “combined ADHD with RSD” and something else I can’t recall.

I finally got a copy of the letter sent to my GP and it seems to be missing the most important details!! It says I was assessed, how, my history, symptoms, and results of the tests. It also states they confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD and begun treatment but nothing about “combined” specifically or RSD.

Should I reach out and ask for a new letter with specifics? Does it make a difference? I feel like everyone has this knowledge of other ADHD related symptoms they have and idk if it’s because I’m at the start of my diagnostic journey but no one has spoken to me about Justice Sensitivity or Limerence, or things that I see come up often and I’m curious if this is language that comes from doctors or from research?

So many questions…thanks all.

This is really embarrassing to post lol. So we typically sleep with our bedroom door open and Jester sleeps right outside it in the hall or next to the bed throughout the night.

When my wife and I are getting freaky, we’ll close our bedroom door and play music, but once the sounds start, Jester wants to BREAK THE DOOR DOWN. She will bark and jump up on the door till she manages to open it, at which point we are either getting jumped on, barked in the face, or get a wet nose where you really don’t want it.

We’ve tried blocking off access to the corridor but she starts barking non stop until she can confirm we are both okay. The loud barking worries me with neighbors, so this is where our sessions have these inconvenient interruptions where we end sooner than desired. Afterward she jumps on the bed for a sniffspection which is also terrible and I hate lmao.

How can we train this out of her???

Jester things:

- My wife is “her person”

- This is new behavior as of six months ago when we moved to this house (she used to sleep downstairs, but now we live in a bungalow)

- I am physically disabled recently and she’s learned to bark for my wife when she hears me cry out in pain, and I wonder if this is related.
