Hello everyone I’ve always had some difficulties with understanding some of my emotions I know when it’s super obvious like if I’m laughing my head off about something but I keep thinking about my autism assessment I was asked several times what I was feeling or how I felt about something and I couldn’t really answer properly does anyone else suffer with this sort of thing is it to do with my autism?
Hiya, I struggle with understanding and explaining my emotions. I have suffered from severe anxiety for a long time and anxiety for as long as I can remember. At my ASD assessment I struggled trying to get everything across because of this, so much so that it was noted in my report that I struggle with explaining/ understanding my emotions. It has been recommended that I find and attend a psychologist who can help me work through them and help me learn how to understand them.
are u new to this forum ? if yes welcome ...... did u get an ASD diagnosis ? did u go orivate ?
Thank you. I started my assessment process in November 2020. I feel like my diagnosis is the first real answer and the one I have really needed. I felt myself relax somewhat when I got it so I know its having a very positive impact on me. I hope your diagnosis has helped you too.
Hello welcome to the forum i went private to got my autism diagnosis last October.
Hi, sorry I am only replying to you now. I did go private and I received my diagnosis only 3 weeks ago. I joined this forum 5 days ago. My sister is also autistic but other than her I do not know anybody else. I do not really have any friends so it is lovely to be talking to others who understand.
