School Experience & Late Diagnosis - Short Anonymous Survey

I'm researching how schools identify (or miss) autism and ADHD. This takes about 2 minutes. All responses are anonymous. If you were diagnosed late - or are still waiting - I'd really value your perspective.

What best describes your diagnosis status?

Formally diagnosed with Autism/ADHD

Self-diagnosed only

Currently in the process of being assessed

Neither, but I relate to the topic

Age at formal diagnosis

If you have multiple diagnoses at different ages, use the earliest.

Gender

Man

Woman

Non-binary / gender diverse

Other

Please answer perceived gender at diagnosis

Did any teacher, school counsellor, or other school staff ever raise concerns about you during secondary school?

Yes - and they referred me or suggested I seek support

Yes - but nothing came of it

No - it was never flagged at school

I'm not sure / can't remember

Did you receive any exam accommodations (e.g. extra time, a separate room) during secondary school?

Yes

No - but I probably needed them

No - and I don't think I needed them

I don't know

Before your diagnosis, how did you understand your own academic ability?

I thought I was strugglingI was doing great

Anything you want to add about how you saw yourself as a student? Not other peoples views.

Is there anything you wish your school had done differently

What country did you live in at time of diagnosis.

Thank you - this genuinely helps. If you have anyone you are connected to who fits the description at the top please refer them to this survey.
