Anyone here been diagnosed as *not* autistic?

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Hi, having lived with the assumption that I'm autistic for about 15 months and found that assumption *really* helpful, I'm now trying to prepare for all possible outcomes of my recent evaluation.

If you've been for an evaluation and given a "no", what was it like for you?

Thanks

  • I’m so glad I found this thread, I just received a ‘no’ yesterday and after musing for some time if I would be bothered, I definitely am. Like others have said it feels like the rug has been pulled from under me and that I’m just somehow broken. It was such a comfort when I read about other women with autism and I identified with so much I read. I didn’t even have a proper interview assessment, I got referred by my GP, had a 25 minute interview with someone, got sent a load of questionnaires and then got a letter saying you’re not autistic. How can they tell from that?! I feel so alone again when I felt like I had found a place I fit. It’s really upsetting.
