Words I've waited 19 months to see.

Really good that you've got it in writing! Have you read your report? Don't celebrate too hard :-)

Thank you! Yes I've read it but will need to go back to it - it's quite long and has lots of suggested web references to follow up. 

I'm having several glasses of wine but no where near the thirsty way I tucked in to alcohol when I just wanted to avoid the life that was confusing the hell out of me.

Just a fab day!

The reports are HUGE! I read mine twice all the way through and then shoved it in a drawer where it's stayed since, as I found it quite a difficult read and didn't want to keep being reminded of what it said. I wanted the diagnosis but I found it quite hard to read all of my difficulties and deficits spelled out in black and white! I might eventually read it again in a couple of years. Luckily I've been able to find my own resources both before and after diagnosis which have proved very helpful. I hope there are some useful web references at the back of your report.

What wine are you drinking? It's a relief isn't it, when we finally understand why we are the way we are? I told you months ago you were setting off my radar!

Hope you continue to enjoy your fab day :-)

This is something I've always done, and it wasn't till recently I started questioning if it was normal or not.  Do other people replay things over and over in their head.  Or worry about something so minor days after it happened.  A few months ago at work I emailed this lady a whole month after she had sent me a file I had asked for, just to say I've just noticed I didn't reply and say thinks-I'm sure you didn't think anything of it but just incase you thought I was being rude.  She replied that she hadn't given it a second thought.  But I'd sat for a few hours worrying that I had been rude not saying thank you, and then worrying about whether to email or not to email.  

Yep. The thinking over even brief and trivial conversations days later! :-)

I have to think what I should be asking people, to show I do care and to make them not think I’m rude and totally uninterested in them.  Sometimes I forget, and then I can spend days and days thinking about it over and over again worrying they won’t like me or that I came across as really rude.
