They are medical doctors.
I was diagnosed with HDD late in life. I was lucky to find a great doctor while I was in the hospital.
The diagram above is excellent, just remember a few things. It is a spectrum diagnoses and no two individuals are the same. I might have suffered from about half of those listed above. Also there can, and most likely other diagnoses co-mingled. For me it is Dysgraphia, which is a problem writing, spelling and speech.

Might also check out some of the books written by Thom Hartman. His books helped me. Plus he is a member here.

Best of luck.
