What to expect from diagnostic test (adult)?

Greenfly

Hello!

I am new here. After time in camhs and adult mental health services and (what I believe to be) misdiagnosis of anxiety, depression and EDNOS, I have now been referred to be tested for ASD.

I don't know what to expect from this at all which is causing me a lot of stress. Could someone share their experiences of adult diagnosis? What should I expect? All I have been told is that I have an appointment with an "advanced nurse practitioner". 

Thank you very much!

  • Hi! Welcome to the forum. I can't provide any advice on diagnosis because I'm also waiting for my assessment, but I just wanted to say hello and let you know you're not alone in feeling like this. I'm nervous about the process too, even though I'd really welcome a diagnosis (it would explain a lot for me).
