Hi,
i'm currently deciding whether or not to ask for an assessment referral. I've done many tests over the last few years and each one has said it is worth getting diagnosed as I may be on the spectrum. Thing is i'm 40 this year and I think, whats the point? i've spent half my life not knowing and if i did would it even make any difference?
I've been told it can take up to 2 years to get assessed and i'm one of those people that constantly goes over scenarios in my head until the 'situation' has happened, i do for days/weeks before meetings, interviews etc and it can be quite exhausting.
My wife thinks I should as it would explain a lot about my lack of social skills (and friends), although i have no interest in getting any of the latter.
So I just wondered what the benefits of getting assessed are and if it is worth the extremely long wait?
