Diagnosed!

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Finally, after 19 months waiting and soul searching, I have my positive diagnosis. I'm just back home after the ADOS which gave the missing piece of the jigsaw to the clinicians. There was more chat & less "tasks" than I expected, but that was all to the good as it helped them to complete the picture.

Thank you so much to all of you for your words of encouragement so far; now we start chapter 2!

  • Congrats and well done for getting through it. I know how stressful I found it on the day, but like you felt a massive relief after, and from the sounds of it, you were in a similar position to me where I spent so much time worrying about why I had problems, whereas for me and you alike, we now have the answer. No need to stress about why you are getting stressed now. It's just because we are special. Stay positive and all the best for the future.

    Yes - I've probably written (and later deleted) more about this than anything else. I used to blog to work things out, then deleted the site one day thinking that no-one was reading. We all tread our own path but in many ways are all following the same route. Time to chill mentally, & I've gone from near suicidal to wishing I was ten years younger so I had more life left!
