Autism assessment coming up

NAS74144

I'm 37 years old and got my assessment coming up.

I'm feeling a bit nervous as I'm hoping an official diagnosis will help me in the future.

In the letter it says  ring someone who has known me from childhood.

My mum has health problems so I'm not sure she can come.

Do you think it's still OK to attend by myself?

Does anyone know the proportion of people they diagnosis or say haven't got it?

Has anyone got any tips?

    The diagnosis has helped me, I finally understand why I am the way I am, why I think the way I think and why I feel the way I feel.

    You can go by yourself. For my assessment they rang my mother but when I got the results of the assessment they told me they didn't get anything of any significance from the chat.
