Diagnosis Countdown

Hello everyone hope ur all well

This site and everybody’s messages have really helped me over the last few months while I have been going through the diagnosis process.

The suggestion that I maybe autistic seemed to come out of nowhere but after reasearch and coming on here I feel that my GP was right and things seem to be slotting into place, if the outcome is not to be diagnosed I will be shocked. The reason I have come on here is to ask if anybody can tell me what I should expect at the final meeting.

Everything seems to have gone so slow but suddenly everything is running too fast for me and I am starting to panic. I have been told on Wednesday I will have a final test before the decision. When I asked what the test was I was told not to worry about it as it was not like an exam, she then said it was aimed at children so I may think some parts are strange.

if anybody can help and tell me what to expect as I’m worrying myself so much I’m making myself ill

  • Maybe but not sure what that achieves as It could make the outcome of the test different depending on how stressed I am on the day. I am probably worrying more than i need to but i just feel a lot revolves around the outcome and am worrying about the unknown.

    I have one family member for support but feel i am taking my stress out on her and am very snappy and argumentative which i know is wrong but can't stop been a snappy cow. i will be glad when it is all over
