variety in assessment procedure

qwerty

I think a lot of people's experiences in the final assessment vary quite a lot, and after viewing various different websites about how the diagnosis is done in their clinics. Some require you to have an assessment with a diagnostic team with multiple professionals, while there are other clinics where the assessment is done with only one person. Some diagnostic interviews last many hours across multiple sessions and some are very short, e.g, 1-2 hours. 

I'm curious what people's experiences are like.

  • I went privately, paid for by my company's health insurance.

    The whole thing took an hour or so with one of the top people in the field.

    He said at the end that I was clearly Asperger's and the report a few day later outlined all his evidence.  I think I'm very obviously AS - and he agreed.  I just said thanks and off I went.

    My lack of emotional response to all this new information sort of confirms it all - I accept it as just data to be processed.
