I finally have a date for assessment. Having waited months on the NHS I eventually opted for private and although it is expensive, it will really help me at university because you need a diagnosis for educational support.
It's at the end of this month using the ADOS model. I'm not sure what that is yet but I have asked for some information so I have an idea what to expect on the day (they didn't have a timetable which would have been more helpful). I know it is going to be a difficult day with lots of questions, does anybody have any advice on how to make assessment as comfortable as possible? Ideally I'd take a colouring book with me but I'm not sure if that's allowed.
