Assessments

Hello, I’m 21 and female! I’ve been to my doctors and they’ve referred me to a specialist to get assessed for autism. When people first meet me they say ‘there’s nothing wrong with me’ or ‘I look normal’. I’m very aware that I’m different and have been aware of this since I can remember! The reason I’ve only just gone to the doctors is because I have a very supportive boyfriend who has helped me lot and I was too scared to go before. I want to know the details of what happens from the very beginning of the assessment right up to the very end! I’m scared they will either misdiagnose me or say I’m not autistic! Which I understand might seem like a good thing to some people but when you’ve been struggling your whole life you feel like you just want the answers! And im certain and so are others that I’m autistic! Thank you for reading!
