What happens at an adult assessment at the Lorna Wing Centre?

silversleeper

Hi all,

I've just received confirmation that I have been approved for a diagnostic consultation at the Lorna Wing Centre and am being put on the waiting list (can take 3 months). I am a 40 year old female.

The email advises that the consultation takes half a day.

Has anyone on here had an adult assessment at Lorna Wing, and if so, are you able to shine a light on the format - e.g. are there cognitive tests, or just interviews? I have a family member coming with me to give an overview of child development.

  • Autism is a spectrum and it is important to know if you want to be diagnosed or not as you can .influence the outcome of the assessment if you are include or forget some facts. We do all tend to worry and be analytical I feel and that is a what we are 

    is there a benefit to you in having a diagnosis?

    presumably there is, so I would make sure you include what you know are relevant symptoms 

    as with everything in life, some things we choose to celebrate and other things to hide
