**update**
Why is it SOOO hard to find someone to evaluate me??? I mean my T said that it would be difficult being an Adult and trying to get tested and evaluated because sometimes insurance companies don't want to deal with it, which is fine because i am willing to pay out of pocket for the eval if need be, but I can't even get ONE person to call me back! One woman, a T, who I emailed,called me because she had more questions regarding the info I gave her and suggested I look for psychiatrists, but I have emailed and called several and still NOTHING.....i need this done ASAP. I just got a new job and I don't want to screw it up due to my inability to perform my tasks at the highest possible standards/what is expected of me. .. guess I will keep looking...

Your T sounds very unhelpful. Isn't there someone they know to refer you to? Maybe I'm being a little harsh in my judgement, but I can feel the frustration in your post, pretty much radiates off the screen. It's understandable, not being able to focus in a world that reacts most unkindly to the disorganized is frustrating. I was recently tested as an adult for ADHD by a PhD who was still going through the process of being licensed which means he's in need for hours in a bad way. I may be jumping to conclusions but my suggestion is to look for a provider around a college town to do the testing (if at all possible). You may have better luck. You could find a doctoral student who needs practicum hours or maybe you'll find a provider who's knowledgeable about adult ADHD due to proximity of the university and working with adult college students who have ADHD. Best of luck! I hope you get some answers.
