I’m genuinely starting to wonder whether I’m being unreasonable or whether this is just a massive blind spot in the UK.
I’m a woman, adult, functioning perfectly well in life for the most part, but I’m very cognitively able and have always been. I’ve been properly assessed and this a known entity (I was not born nor raised in the UK for context).
The issue is I’m finding that there are only pathways if you’re struggling but not if you’re just curious. I’m not only talking about the NHS, even privately I haven’t been able to find someone who hits the spot.
I’ve looked into:
ND assessments (very binary, very impairment-focused)
talk therapy - after years of it total waste of time and money.
People in the US suggested to find a neuropsychologist but they have eye-watering costs, mostly framed around brain injury or rehab
It’s either you’re ill or you’re fine, stop asking questions.
I’m not looking for validation, labels, or coping strategies.
I’m just trying to understand how my mind works, and it feels like that’s somehow illegitimate unless I’m suffering.
So… AIBU to find this incredibly annoying?
