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!
Congratulations, that must be a real weight off your mind, hope it does anyway it did me when I had my diagnosis.
Thank you - yes a huge weight lifted! No more limbo-land!
I know, suddenly everything makes sense, If you are offered any aftercare I would accept, even if its just to discuss disclosure and who you want or not to know, don't make any rushed decissions in relation to who you tell or not, have a good think before you tell anybody its a shock even if you know you would get a positive diagnosis its still a shock... And yes the term Limbo land that was so real for me also and to be free ffom it is really liberating, enjoy...x
