Feeling low after assessment.

I had my assessment yesterday which took place over about 3 hours. I was asked lots of questions by 2 psychologists and another psychologist spoke to my parents, I also had an ADOS assessment. I have been really anxious about going, so I expected to feel much better once it was over. I don't know the outcome yet, I should find out in the next 2 weeks. Although the psychologists were really nice, i found discussing all the things I struggle with has left me feeling quite low and not too good about myself in general and I was wondering if other people have felt the same after the assessment?

  • I got my diagnosis today. The psychologist said that she would have used the term Asperger's a few years ago but it's classed as a autism spectrum condition now. Either way at least I know now I haven't been imagining things. I have been offered some one-to-one and group sessions to help with coping strategies, they will start in about 4 months.
