So, I had a support call today from the centre that has been dealing with my referral, and I have got the impression that although they recognise my autistic traits and are willing to support me with them, it doesn't seem like they actually want to put me forward for a formal diagnosis.
I explained my reasoning for why I want a diagnosis, and they said they will discuss it with the team and get back to me, but they did really seem like they were trying to put me off or tell me I didn't need it (without explicitly saying that).
The whole process has been really frustrating so far and I kind of feel like I'm getting nowhere. I've wondered for so long what makes me different, often feeling like I'm broken and struggling to fit in for reasons I can't fathom.
I get really bad anxiety from not knowing things, and getting half an answer but no definitive result about something so intinsic to me very being is frustrating beyond belief.
Is this a common issue with adults seeking diagnosis? Do I need to try and accept that I may never know for sure or should I keep pushing?
