Hey,
So, I've kinda always presumed I was ASD since I was a teen (I'm in my early 30's), I had pondered over getting a diagnosis for many many years, and it wasn't until for the first time in my life someone who was very similar to me called me out and asked me if I was ASD because they were and we are so alike in our traits and quirkiness, that I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I did go via my GP, but still not heard anything from them since I originally contacted them end of Feb, so I went privately instead.
My AQ10 was 10.
My RAADS-14 was 30
My BFIS was 4
My AQ was 35
My EQ was 33 (slightly out of range, but told this was insignificant)
In a preliminary assessment, it was viewed that I did have traits that warranted a full diagnostic assessment.
I have completed all the forms now, had my one to one session, and my parent has also had her session, had my partner complete their forms, and now await the final assessment early next week. I'm quite nervous really, because I've just always presumed my quirkiness was ASD for a lot of my life, so if I am told actually, you're not, that'll shock me and make me wonder what I possibly have to be the way I am.
Time will tell. Excited, yet very very nervous.
