If you're covered at Mercy I believe you can get neuropsych assessment there. My PCP referred me there for my autism assessment.

Yeah, I went through Mercy Neuropsych for my ADHD assessment. It was pretty easy, but it did take almost six months to get an appointment.

Mine would be for ADHD abd autism actually, I'm worried they'll see I'm a woman and go "mmm it's bipolar"

Dr. Dionysus at Mercy Neuropsychology is excellent. I was misdiagnosed with type 2 bipolar for years until I went to see her. She diagnosed me as autistic at age 52. She also diagnosed my kiddo (17 at the time) with ADHD.

I’m not sure they do autism screening. I was told they don’t but could have been misinformed

I was also told they don’t do autism testing for adults.

Unless they stopped, that isn’t true. You may need a referral from a psychiatrist or therapist, but that is where I got diagnosed in 2020z

Yeah I did have a referral from my doctor, I had to call about trying to set it up and they told me they no longer do them for adults and this was about 6 weeks ago

That really, really, really sucks. I’m so sorry about that.

Just beware if you go through mercy they are super backed up. To see a PA is 1-2 months but they can't prescribe ADHD meds so you need to see an MD there and they are booked for 6-9 months, last I checked.

The Doctor Who diagnosed me is a woman even younger than myself and she found it in me so you should give her a try
