Reposted by Les von DarrowChris Farnell @thebrainofchris.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The thing about seeking out a diagnosis, and for now I'm *just* talking about kids - is it is not something that you do for fun. You do it because there is clearly an unmet need that exists and diagnosis a route towards finding out what will meet that need. 314329
