Have school reports been useful to anyone as evidence for obtaining their autism diagnosis?
Have school reports been useful to anyone as evidence for obtaining their autism diagnosis?
My mom kept my first report from a shrink, I saw it for the first time 5 years ago, until then i Had no idea something like that happened
SO it went like that:
when I was about 5 in kindergarden, at some point I did undergo a psychological assessment, though I do not recollect seeing any doctors at that time, or anyone telling me that it will be happening today, or anything like it
I was regular visitor to a nurse (broken head, and such), so I was able to tell them apart
report said
A difficult child, incorrectly developing speech and social interactions, acting with anger when questioned (questioning usually was this: a bigger boy coming and trying to snatch a toy I was playing with)
Indeed, good call. Give them any and all reports like this too. I had a number of MH exist letters stating treatment was unsuccessful and in a round about way blaming me. I gave them all that, and in hind sight that must have been informative to them because all the reasons it didn't work would have been obvious to the assessors were to do with my autism and they had in fact been trying to treat the wrong thing.
Thankfully I was under a mental health team for nearly two years in my late teens/early 20's so I really hope that information could be shared to the assessors because I was treated in the exact same building that I will be assessed in for autism.
