Doubts and anxieties prior to assessment

Did any one else start doubting them selves in the weeks running up to you assessment?  
Knowing if you sat and thought about it rationally you have traits and signs, but gut reaction is I’m just being silly etc.

My GP agrees that I am probably autistic as do the people I’ve met in a local group. I think it’s just probably nerves knowing in a couple of months I’ll have an answer, as well as not knowing what to expect.

I’ve also been filling out a questionnaire and am feeling anxious that I can’t fill it all in because I don’t have relatives who can help.

am I just anxious over nothing?

also it’s Christmas, even though I spend it alone (which I like) I feel overwhelmed /overstimulated by it all

  • I know I'm autistic but I worry about not having good enough communication skills to get through the assessment and no one to fill in forms because I can't maintain relationships. What if I'm too autistic to navigate the autism service?! So yes I'm kind of anxious. But I'm not expecting to get the assessment until 2024 so trying not to think about it too much.
