What should I do while I wait?

Hello,

I am not exactly an adult, but I have been waiting for my ASD assessment since 2020. I love to learn, especially about subjects like autism, although I have not looked up signs of autism yet as I don’t want to accidentally tamper with the results. This has been very difficult for me, and I am not sure how much longer I can wait before looking up information on the topic of ASD. Has anyone here been in the position before, and if so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks,

Jewels

Hello Jewels welcome!

I'm sorry you've had a long wait. Unfortunately the waiting times can be very long. But hopefully you will hear back soon.

It might be worth doing a few online tests, seeing if score highly and then you could do some research if you wanted to.

Remember there is no rush and plenty of time :)

I was in that situation.

I took an onlne test and when it indicated I was quite a high scorer, then I focussed on getting my formal assessment done, but did no other research. I was content to wait until my status was confirmed THEN research the heck out of it!

If I had not tested highly, then I would have continued along the path I was on.

hmmm, well, first, may i ask, have you self referred (well not exactly self, but i requested it) like i have?

because that does change a lot of what i can see as options, and perhaps help me see if the approach im thinking, will be good or not
