Hi all
I have an appointment for an autism assessment in a few weeks. I've seen a news story today about having to declare a diagnosis to the DVLA, and this has got me thinking about the possible repercussions of an autism diagnosis.
I wondered if anyone can give me an idea of how an autism diagnosis in adulthood can have a negative impact when it comes to the practical elements of day-to-day life. It has occurred to me that travel insurance could be affected, but I suspect there are other things I have overlooked and wouldn't become aware of unless I got a diagnosis.
In light of the DVLA news story I am now considering cancelling my assessment, which would be a shame as I've waited almost three years. But I'm scared about the potential discrimination that could result from it.
Thanks very much in advance.
