Worried

NigelN

Hello I have taken too long to come here to see if anyone can offer help, I just been told my appointment for my ASD will be Thursday over the phone, but I am now worried and overthinking it, I have some things that would belong in the ASD, I did some online tests and yes I know shouldn't do them, but all said the same I show signs of Aspergers and should visit my GP just to test one of the tests I answered the opposite of whatever I answered, and the results were different.

I'm worried as its a phone appointment what to do what to say, what if this happens, what if they ask me a question I cant answer. I have even started questioning my self do I have it, my partner doesn't think I have it, but I don't share everything I normally just bottle it up (have done all my life) but it has taken me far too long to seek help or advice, I have some OCD traits, I like to plan everything and I get Anxious if my plans are changed or it something happens suddenly, I don't like lots of noise or loud noise, hate crowds or not having an escape, I will stay awake at night overthinking, I have some social things that people say I do, I stare way too much while they talk, I always talk about the same thing, and I become clingy.

To be honest, I have become quite depressed and anxious over the whole thing and with everything going on atm and looking for support from people, or anyone, I don't have friends I can talk to.

Sorry for my grammar or spelling (used a app to spell check).

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please stay safe everyone

Oh and before I forget when I go to the shops (only when I need to) my anxiety just goes through the roof, I panic about being in the shop the new oneway systems (can't go round the shop like I normally would) then as always people getting to close, all of this doesn't help when I get to the till.

    when you're assessed you can arm yourself with a reminder list of your traits in case you forget some.

    It's best that you think of yourself on a not-so-good day , because all of us can have good days but that gives a false impression of getting through life. Otherwise the results can be a bit different reflecting good and bad days.  

    That is not cheating  - many of us have gone through it and questioned ourselves exactly in this way. The assessment process and aftermath is one of the most common thread topics, and no wonder.
