I find out my assessment results in a few hours - should I prep for both outcomes?

NAS82960

So I had my assessments a couple of weeks ago and thankfully the turnaround time for the result has been quick - I find out later this afternoon!

I've been thinking (and over thinking) about how the assessments went and now cannot gauge whether or not I will be diagnosed. I feel like there was a lot I didn't get to show/explain during the assessments and my examples were not the greatest. However, I think a lot of my pre-assessment questionnaires were thorough, even though I thought of more things to add since then!

Anyway, what I'm wondering is - should I prepare for them returning with a non-diagnosis? I like to know what to say or if there are things I should ask but I don't know 'which way' to prepare for this session.

Perhaps I'm worrying unnecessarily but I feel it may be a wasted opportunity if I get a result and cannot follow it up with useful questions/comments for the next steps.

    If you can manage it at least consider the main questions you most need to know the answers to for both outcomes. Not really much point saying don't obsess, I totally would be, so making some notes would be a better way of getting it out of your system than just circling thoughts!

    Also emotional prep, although it is not unlikely your feelings will not be what you expect anyway. For either outcome. I hope it goes well for you.
