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!
