For assessment for ASD (at first she thought I meant ADD)

She was very nice and all but she gave me 'the look' - you know the half smile, sympathetic head tilt?

She said someone will be in contact but as I left I glanced at her screen and saw the words "I suspect this is unlikely"

BlushShock is this even her call to make? I haven't decided I might be autistic on a whim!

She asked for reasons/symptoms and I gave a few of my previous problems - depression, eating disorders, anxiety, struggling with everyday things due to sensory issues, social struggles etc. I'm sure I missed a ton of things out but I decided not to prepare what I was going to say as I knew I'd overthink it.

How was it if you did the same?

Would I be crazy to try and go private as well? I'd really like to see Sarah Hendrickxs or Tania Marshall

Not sure how I feel now Hmm

I guess not. To be honest I'd only read the first couple of paragraphs when I posted it..I just found it interesting that the person I saw could not have given me a diagnosis. That was not the impression she gave at all.

I will hunt out the post you mentioned thank you Smile
