Where did you get diagnosed?

Was it here or in the UK?

That was here.

So the whole thing started obviously in the UK.

The whole tics and everything really badly started in the UK.

They started the process in the UK with obviously MRI scans to make sure it wasn't anything else.

And it was a very long wait time to see a neurologist.

In fact, I don't even think I got the appointment to get that far.

Then, obviously, moving over here, the whole thing had to start again because it was a completely different medical... Organization, really, yeah.

Yeah, so, obviously, HSE rather than the NHS.

And... Oof!

Knee!

And, yeah, so, I, um, obviously, started the whole thing again.

Doctor wanted to, obviously, check autism as well because, apparently, like, he'd potentially been stimming for, like, autism and everything.

So, luckily, I got an appointment...

just about three or four weeks after, which apparently was unheard of.

Very quick for the mental health side of things or neurologist over here.

Whether I just got lucky and had a cancellation.

I don't know what the reason I got so seen so quickly.

So I was at Ballymote practice.
