Diagnosis Appointment

Wow, that's really fast! Good to hear that you've met a supportive assessor!

thanks i have got lucky though to be honest i was in two minds whether to put this post up considering how long some people have waited i didn't want to sound like i was gloating

Sure people won't think you are gloating - it's really good that things are moving forward so quickly and your assessor is helpful and supportive. 

For mine and my partner's assessment, they took about half a day, and we were told the conclusion at the end of the session.  I had a different assessment to my partner though - with a speech and language person as well as the psychologist.  I suspect because there was no feedback from my parents available, so perhaps they wanted to gather additional evidence?  It then took a few weeks for the letter confirming with the additional information/report to come through.

Maybe we're both really obviously Asperger's though!

Going through the assessment process sometimes means thinking and talking about stuff that can be painful. So pleased to know you are getting regular contact and support. 

thanks sunflower im relieved i was really bothered i might've come across as showing off,... the guy who did my assessment was fantastic hes been texting me to see if im ok ( due to having had some really bad days) in fact hes done more to help and support me in last 3 weeks than my care co-ordinator and mental health team have done in the last  2 1/2 years there are some really nice people out there

It really encouraged me to know that sometimes the assessment process does not take too long. I was very glad you posted this. 

thank you
