One in 10 days time (blimey!) and one a week later. Have a questionnaire with lots of vague open ended questions to fill in and send back; I think I'm going to have to sit down and make some preparatory notes before I fill it in so I don't miss out details (and either write really small or consider adding some extra sheets, there's not a lot of space for answers).
Struggling a bit with a question on 'why now to get assessed?' There's so many different intertwined things, and mostly I think it just didn't occur to me that my problem might be that I was on the spectrum (the basics I knew about it didn't sound like me...it was only because I came across an article about women who'd been diagnosed in later life that I had a lightbulb moment).
Relieved to finally get an appointment (been a 9 month wait) but feeling rather more nervous than I thought I would (getting jitters just thinking about it, no idea how I'm going to get any work done between now and the first appointment). Maybe that's not a bad thing, can't mask when I'm anxious (probably why I fail interviews so often!) I am more worried about not getting a diagnosis than anything. I'm 99% sure I'm on the spectrum, and I really need the support at uni...also I imagine I'll feel a bit stupid having to tell other people the outcome if it is a 'no'...
