Had the 3rd appointment

It was difficult remembering whether I had the various traits in early childhood . My stepdaughter inputted with things she'd noted that I had just seen as being 'Well that's just me! . For example rocking and tapping my feet .  Due to the lack of childhood info the assessor has made me an appointment to do the ADOS. She will go over the information already provided and may or may not make a decision based on that. In which case I won't need to do the ADOS

She also said that signs of dyspraxia and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia clouded things to some degree .

    How do you feel about all that or are you still processing?

    I have given up my school reports from primary school but have no one to refer them too regarding childhood info apart from my own memory of school (not of child development as a baby elephant.

    .... is it getting you down that its dragging on and another appointment has to happen??

    I feel  a bit anxious about it.   Not sure how to take it.  On one hand it's not an outright 'No, you aren't' , but on the other it's not a definite 'yes'.  The mention of other things that may cloud the issue is a little worrying . I do wonder whether  if you have long standing mental health problems there's  a tendency for things to be wrongly attributed to that, and not seen as being due to ASD.
