Hi all. Not posted in a while. Not really felt like being online much, other than for my art.
I've finally booked an appointment with my GP (well one of the ones from my practice) to ask to be referred for an autism assessment.
Slightly nervous about it. Really hope he agrees, don't know what Id do if he says no, just stay stuck where i am I guess.
Things that are concerning me.
1. I have no parents so I've no-one to provide info about my early childhood (I can remember bits but don't remember any playing with other children, just random bits at home with my parents)
2. I have tried to ask friends what they notice it's either I don't know really, or they just don't want to do it which is fine, so that avenue is gone really
3. I asked one work colleague (sort of friend) and they said they saw nothing. Yet I asked another Work colleague and friend for nearly 30 years (they worked with me and the other person and they came back with a long list of things from when we were at college and when we worked together) So sort of mixed messages.
Would you just tell them about the one who gave answers and ignore the other one(I've a feeling she didnt want to get involved)
A good point I've a friend who is waiting for theyr assessment and they said they have noticed some things in me as well so thats got to be a positive hasn't it?
Finally any tips for my GP appointment (please don't say take someone with you as I've no one who can)
Best
Simon
