Hi everyone, sorry if this is asked a lot but the search function doesn’t work particularly well on my phone! I usually just make my way through life without much thought about what goes on in my brain (even though I’ve suspected for quite a long time that I may have Aspergers or something similar) Recently it seems to be more at the forefront of my mind even though I’m not particularly sure why! I’m female in my mid 30’s, married with one child, I have a good job so not sure if an assessment is actually worth pursuing? I’ve taken some of the online tests I’ve scored AQ 26 (was closer to 30 when I first took it at uni 5-10 years back, wasn’t official the neurology students had taken one whilst learning about autism and were a bit ‘freaked’ by scoring in double figures, although they were still well in “normal” range), EQ 16 which was actually quite a surprise that it was that low despite my lack of feelings, I tend to think about things I’m worried about but with little emotional attachment if that makes sense and SQ 49. I generally haven’t ever really felt like I’ve properly fitted in with people but have a couple of close friends but only speak to them occasionally. I’m feeling a bit closer to my colleagues now I have common ground of being a parent but don’t really have any “proper” friends there. There’s quite a bit more but don’t want to turn this into a massive long post! Does the assessment and diagnosis process actually make a difference in your daily life? Have I left it too late and should just carry on as I tick most of the boxes to be deemed successful at life? Thanks for reading
