Ohhh, right, that makes sense. I’ll clarify in my first reply that the ADA is for the USA.
That’s really unfortunate that you wouldn’t get any support at all… that’s ridiculous! 
It’s also worth noting that the ADA and its requirements aren’t perfect. If an employer decides that the accommodations an employee has requested are “too much”, they can legally decline them.
Update on process:
Ive just found an email i was waiting on to say whether to continue with the process of assessment. My screening test has come back significant. Which means the nect step is all the psychometric tests… yay more work to fill out🤦♀️, but maybe based on tests they said id need to do maybe it might help identify struggles that are caused by certain significant areas and maybe that whether its adhd or just adhd symptoms might indicate where need to focus psychological work.
Im currently sitting on bed with music on repeat to block outdide distractions, tapping my foot, playing with nail with other nail, something i noticed i do alot and trying to do work. While it might not make adjustments with work it might help see where struggles coming from. N help find stratagies to help manage. Maybe might help work to be more understanding of sone of quirks or struggles like always on the go and struggling to slow down. Being accident prone n at times noticeable overly ‘energetic’ i say that rather than hyper cause i know getting an adhd diagnosis will cause rejection from some ppl including my family. They or at least my parents think adhd is just bad behaviour and bad parenting n isnt a real thing… n ive already had them reject things that i felt where just a part of me. I try to brush it off n embrace my weirdness but if i get diagnosed with adhd, im not telling them. Diagnosis or not will never give me the acceptance from them i always wish i could have. I love them, but sometimes they are not very understanding about sonethings. Mayve one day that will change but im both scared of and needing answers. But also if its not adhd i fear maybe its just that theres somethung wrong with me as a person rather than a reason for my quirks. . But maybe knowing is better than forever wondering and being stuck in limbo feeling like a fake and unable to get help if hacnt been diagnosed but also not knowing if there is sone other reason or cause or if its just ypu yourself thats broken and cant be fixed. Im scared of being diagnosed but not knowing is holding me in a place of uncertainuty. Maybe its better to know that forever wondering what the crap is wrong with me…forever feeling a failure and no matter how hard try to feel not good enough. Maybe i need to look at sometjing to help with self acceptance either way it goes. Maybe a spell or crystal, i dont know. Maybe even some shadow work. . Um wait thats just going to cause more emotions than feeling the closer i get to finding out either way…but maybe the cryatal or crystals might be sometjing to help remind me to self love n self accept. Come what may.
I personally would get a diagnosis as this would cross one thing off your list. Maybe then find a kind counsellor who you can talk through your feelings of self worth. One step at a time. Crystals are great, as are spells, but sometimes it’s good also to talk it out with someone who’s neutral, professional and kind. If you chose shadow work, great, it’s a good way of cleansing your soul but you made need that counsellor more as it can hilight more shadows. Please remember, You Are Loved and Valued. Blessed be 
Love… there’s nothing wrong with you, nothing broken either. You are you, and if your light is too bright for some people, that’s their problem. While it might feel like that, you don’t need that diagnosis, or anyone or anything to explain why you are your unique self… you’re beautiful and loved just as you are. We need you just as you are, that’s why you are here. Not as anyone else… those roles are already taken. If people around you don’t get it… maybe it’s time to look for ones who do. And work on self love, first and foremost… if you don’t love who you are, it’s hard for others to. When you do, life feels so much kinder. 
I am sorry to hear that your parents aren’t able to be understanding. That must be really hard. ADHD is not bad parenting or bad anything.
Funnily enough I saw a short on you tube on the ADHD you tube channel I referred to and she was encouraging people to get tested as there can be differences that are important to know. Just like what the docs are telling you about getting next tests. My one side says don’t spend the money but it seems the universe is supportive of the idea of being tested.
IMO it is better to know. Whether ADHD or something else, you can deal with what you know. The unknown can cause us to fear and possibly spiral.
Remember: “You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.” 
This is a quote from my favourite poem, Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
There is nothing wrong with you 
You are loved and valued by more people than you will probably ever know!
You can ask for accommodations and support to do your job (or go to school, etc.) with ADHD as long as you can meet the demands of the core functions of the job. There are job coaches and time management apps that can help as well. See this JAN article Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
I would get a second opinion from another doctor or job coach. Canada does support accommodations for persons with disabilities in the workplace, per the Accessible Canada Act. ADHD is recognized as a medical condition in Canada so getting a diagnosis from a doctor is important – not mandatory, we all have choices how we choose to live with a disability. But important if you want to receive support and accommodations. https://caddac.ca/wp-content/uploads/Workplace-accommodations-Chart-FINAL.pdf
So i have just spent 5-6 hours ( whivh i feel bad ot took me that lobg to complete all of the assessment but i have submitted all of assessments ( think there was 4 seperate ones) plus copies of school reports now i wait to here back and for the second part of this process. I finally ate someyhing when i was sorting out uploading stuff. I swear it was like 4pm then suddenly it was like 8.30ish and imnlike crap will this end…but i was like just want it done n in as i have so nuch othrr stuff to do n its one less stress. Though i was near tears at times as i realised or let myself acknowledge how much this has affected my life and other times i snorted or laughed and was like yeah thats so me, but it hadnt veen something i guess that felt was as bad a habit or thing. Or maybe it was questions before it really hit me how much this was affecting me. Soo many questions. Im just a bit of a blur im up later than id of hoped with crazy day at work Tommorow. . But i needed a momrnt to recentre myself so maybe i might get some sleep. I keep forgetting i have a psych appt friday but thats assuming work dont need me for extra day. . . But what 5-6 hours of questions on so msny… n bringing up so much stuff. Im exhausted and blank. Like my head just feels like it cant think anymore lol. 
some sleep will help… now its waiting game for them to look at tests and reports etc at least for me the first part of assessmrnt is donr in regards to what i need to do. My brain keeps jimping. I go to say something but something else n then i dont remember what was going ti say. But so far… its progress i guess. Maybe there might be answers at rhe end of this. .
Congrats on getting through the first part, Phoenix! Even if it took a while, I think it was time well spent doing something important for your health and well-being. Good for you!
Wishing you all the best as you wait- good luck with your appointment on Friday and I hope you the answers you are hoping for!
Blessed be 
@Phoenix_Fire That’s great, you’ve done the first bit. That’s a huge step. I remember filling out all the forms (or novels!) for my son’s autism assessment, but it’s worth doing. Well done. 
Look at you go! That’s a long time to sit and do assessments - but you did it! 
Now it’s the waiting game, yes, but you can do that, too
Lol by question 8 of first one ( there was 4 and 60 questions or more ) i grabbed my pop it ball i got. It seemed to help though i was still chucking hissing fits when they kept goibg on so long n was tapping feet or doing other things to move. I didn’t eat the whole time not till was sorting out emailing them all to clinic. N that took ages too cause photos of school reports were too big size or permission issues lol but i got there in the end. Ive been offered a follow up appt for review tests and assessment face to face ( or in this case via video chat) its been a rollercoastrer week but im seeing light at end of tunnel
I just need to see if i can do my 3 days not on that day so can confirm the appt. But hopefully soon ill have some answers. 
it will be scary but also relief to know. Either way it goes . .
@Phoenix_Fire Well done, that’s great. The assessment is the next step, it’s worth it. Your journey to getting answers is taking off. Praying for you lovely
That was the important bit for me, too. Not having the answers, not knowing how to best accommodate myself and my child (who is also neurodivergent), was the scary part. Once we started getting answers, things started making more sense and falling into place, and we’re doing much, much better.
I hope the answers you get help set you on the path of healing in all ways!
A week before maybe i might have some answers.
Well, whatever the outcome, I’m rooting for you! 
Ive just been diagnosed with adhd ( combined) i want to cry partly cause relief of knowibg and having answers but also because talkibg for 45min about just how much struggled with everyday tasks n i felt bad about some of my annoying habits. But also life going to shit and i dont know. This is the main place had support in general otherwise im dealing with alot alone. I feel a bit overwhelmed n not sure what now? Now that been diagnosed. Its not like it changes how much i struggle cause its stuff always been there. But now its just i kbow wgat it is, but now what to i do… not sure if that makes sense.
Found this and i loved the graphics. It seemed like it was making it magical in a way. Which was cool. I was close to tears in the shop earlier cause i realised i might get rejected or disowned by parents if found out cause of their views of adhd. But i risked my sister. Shes in 20’s but like 11 years difference or something like that lol but she thought i was going to say was diagnosed as autism. Then id sais no it was adhd but got talking and i did note yeah there are links between autism and adhd. But she was like its about bloody time they diagnosed you for that! I was like wait, did you know? I disnt suspect till last few months lol apoarently she has a friend who has adhd n picked up similarities wuth sister n cause sister knew her friend so well she had noted symptoms her friend had that i also had. So thats one family member who accepts me even though knows lol knew or suspected before i did lol
I have to wait 7-10 days for full report but i did confirm with the psych that it was that i was being diagnosed with adhd abd she said yes its the adhd - combined. Simetimes i hear people but i worry i misheard then i doubt myself then im not sure lol so i just double asked to make sure understood correct.
I was in shop gettibg food which seemed bad idea at time but needed food but just got off the video call from assessment. Emotions high, in shock ecen though suspected but also talking bout stuff that i feel bad about or feeling like i was just a freak n beating self up cause i seemed to struggle to do simple stuff others had no trouble with. . They just didnt want to do it it seems or at least sometimes that was the issue. But while it makes sense now i feared family reaction but i went from nearing balling my eyes out in the middle of the first aisle walked down to feeling much better talking to sister on messenger about it. She accepted my asthma, fibro even me being asexual when others in family didnt or don’t even know. Im so grateful for her.
And im so grateful for this community here as well. Its like a family of people from around the world that come together in a supportive, caringband loving community and im so grateful for all the support and encouragement ppl have given through not only this adhd assessment process but in so many other conversation. Sending much love and hugs to everyone 
Congrats on your diagnosis! 
It really is a big emotional thing to get it and it’s okay to need some time and space to process it Some of the processing may look like celebrating finally knowing, and some like anger and grief, letting go of what people call “normal” but really is just a set of strange and arbitrary expectations. I’m happy that you have people in your life who love and appreciate you just as you are Sending you lots of love and hugs too
