Oh dear….what happens if not diagnosed?

I had my assessment two weeks ago and my husband is to be ‘interviewed’ next week. What happens if the answer is no? No….you’re not autistic.  At the age of 69, where does that leave me? I’m getting so stressed about this.

    If the answer is "Yes", then it's debatable as to whether anything will change for you. You'll just be a person with a formal diagnosis of Autism. 

    If the answer is "No" and you disagree, there is nothing to stop you from self-identifying as Autistic. 

    I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry too much about what the outcome may or may not be.
