Big day for me today. Last week I gave up trying to get help on the NHS for my bipolar and so decided to pay private for a psychologist.
Met the psychologist on Monday, she seemed very professional, but half way through our first session that she was an expert on ASD and she thinks I may have ASD and would I want a formal assessment.
So today is the day of the big formal assessment. I am curious to know if I have it but also scared that a label might be a bad thing. Being labelled with bipolar was the end of my nuclear family, parents were ashamed and embarrassed of me and told me that at every opportunity. Thankfully I have DH and DH's family who would not bat an eyelid if I got Dxd but I am still very worried.
