I was sent a copy of my draft report yesterday. I was correct with my previous self diagnosis. I’m not sure how I feel about this, and I cried when I read it, which isn’t usual for me. I’ve not been able to read the entire thing, as the parts I saw made me feel quite bad about myself. I’m also upset by the fact I was ‘that child’ who was unsupported and ‘missed’. And I’m annoyed that it took me so long to realise I was autistic. My diagnosis comes 2 months short of my 49th birthday.
But at the same time, I now have the factual proof which puts my mind at rest.
Two other conditions were flagged but I don’t feel the need to be assessed for them. I’ll just accept I have them, (as I already suspected I did).
