Adult Autism Diagnosis

Days
over 7 years ago

Hi all,

I was referred for suspected autism and a couple of weeks later was visited by two people who specialise in autism and were happy to put me in for a diagnosis.

I have no idea what to expect though. They said it would take 3-6 weeks of being obsereved at their centre before a diagnosis can be made.

Does anyone know what I can expect and what they are going to observe me on?

Thanks.

    My actual diagnosis took a day (a long day). There were other appointments (such as with my GP) before I was referred for a diagnosis.

    The approach I took was not to look into any aspect of the diagnosis (or the condition, Asperger's in my case). This was difficult as I liked (needed, really) to know, however, by not knowing I felt I would behave naturally (for me).
