Feedback Appointment

Hello, I have finally got an appointment for the feedback of my assessment which is in 4 weeks time. 

Ihave asked if I can have a "yes or a no" before hand, but have been told they are unable to give an outcome prior to the appointment which is most frustrating.

Anyhow, I was just wondering if this is normal?

I'm trying to read between the lines to see if not being told is basically them saying I'm not, or if it's because they want to tell me I am but in more detail as to why. If that makes sense?

Has anybody "not" been told prior the appointment and then get told they are autustic? I just want to find out one way or the other and it's so frustrating. Thanks.

  • My assessment was 13th Dec, I got an email late on 23rd Dec whilst travelling for Christmas, inviting me to the follow up on the 5th Jan.  So I didn't find out til the 5th Jan that I was diagnosed autistic.  In the intervening time I tried to figure out what I was going to do as I was convincing myself they would say I wasn't, so preparing for what that might mean.  So yes it's a further period of frustration/anxiety and not knowing.  The good thing once I had the diagnosis was that for me, the report did come quickly afterwards and I had it by the next morning.
