You just know

JT

There is lots of talk about whether to get diagnosed.. am I, or, aren't I? ...personally, I feel if you quietly consider it long enough, rationally, then, you just know.

  • Well, I certainly think I've worked it out now but HAVE to have a diagnosis in order to access the help I need.  What I've had todate has been inadequate, even inappropriate, and the more I'm digging into this,... I'm beginning to figure out why...

    I'm finding it really hard to wait for the assessment as I'm a) obviously concerned they might decide I'm wrong and attribute my problems to something else leaving me back at square one, b) I can't move forward until I've got one to base my request for help on.

    It's odd, six months ago, I'd have said anyone who suggested autism was bonkers, but once the penny dropped and I juxtaposed a 101 things that have always been different or problematic....errrr...yes, I think I just know too.  Nothing else seems to adequately describe what I'm or have ever been going through.
