Received report

M

Received my diagnostic report today and even though I agree with the overall diagnosis, I'm not in full agreement with their rationale. Is that normal? I feel like some things I said have been taken out of context or blown out of proportion. I have a follow up appointment in just over a week to discuss it.

  • I think when you've waited a long time for something,  it's natural to feel like that. I'm sure the assessors did their best..after all they only see a snap shot. It came up on mine about reciprocity too but since I was there with a purpose of being assessed rather than building a relationship, I didn't ask personal questions. Maybe a non autistic person would behave a bit  differently, I don't know. I wonder if forcing myself to ask questions is when I'm usually masking, however I felt so stripped back I don't think I was able to mask.

    I have to remind myself to ask this question back as I know it can seem self-centred to not ask someone what they've been doing after they have asked me. I genuinely don't know why anyone cares what I've been doing in the first place, half of the time I cant even remember myself...

    Totally.
