I started to have suspicions I had ADHD when I was around 13, but I wasn't taken seriously. It wasn't until I started IOP 6 weeks ago that my concerns started to be heard. So for me it took 10 years to get it. But my psychiatrist at the iop knew after one visit

That depends. For ADHD it took about a week from the point of suspicion to diagnosis. For what’s probably Ehlers-Danlos, it’s already been over a decade and I’m just now getting to see a specialist. It really does depend on what it is.
