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.

  • As Sparkly said, even a "Yes" is more about self-understanding than external help, but even with a "No," it is possible to get a second opinion and get diagnosed (this happened to me, very long story). Try not to worry about it, but take comfort in the fact that pretty much everyone has these fears in the assessment period.
