Another diagnosis-related question

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Sorry to keep going on about my diagnosis appointment!

One of the other things on my mind is when we were talking about one of my daughters getting angry and how I noticed that she was angry. I described how she was sitting very still, not talking, but like a volcano about to erupt. My interviewer asked "And you could pick up on that?" in a way that sounded to me like "Nah, you're not on the spectrum!".

There were a few moments like this - but maybe she was just digging to make sure.

Thoughts?

(Yes I know I need to forget it and move on and not worry! :-) )

  • Maybe she was just digging to try to understand you better. Your daughter is a close family member, someone who you have spent years with, so it's understandable that you can tell very subtle emotional responses after so much exposure to how she behaves. The assessment should be holistic and a few small things shouldn't make much of a difference, hopefully!
