Do I go for assessment?

Purple

Hi,

My psychiatrist a couple of years ago thought I might have autism.  I've been looking at adult assessments local to me, and I've found one who test in your own home, and have spaces in July.

Do I do it? It is expensive.

  • no one can tell you whether to do it or not. gaining a diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean you will get the support that you need. personally, I have received no support. however, the diagnosis helped me as it explained to me why i do certain things. So, what i am trying to say is that you need to work out why you are considering a diagnosis and what you want out of it
