Sample input
Conversation context: I am preparing feedback after an adult ADHD assessment with mixed findings. Main points: Attention difficulties are real and affecting daily life. Some findings fit ADHD, but the available evidence doesn't support a firm conclusion yet. Sleep, anxiety, and more developmental history should be explored. Communication needs: The person values direct language and may become quiet when disappointed. Check-in time: 8 minutes. Misunderstanding concern: The person may hear an inconclusive result as proof that the concerns aren't real or that ADHD has been ruled out.
