Hello,
This morning I have my diagnosis from NHS. they told me that while I have autistic traits and they understand why I would pursuit an assessment, I didn't make the criteria for a diagnosis, they mention specially my empathy and my facial expressions, that are normal.
I don't know how to feel. I have a child with autism and our similarities was what made me search for an evaluation.
At the moment, I have some accommodations at my job that are in place under the premise that I am undergoing the process of autism diagnosis. Those adaptations have made my life much easier and I don't want to cry every day when I am going to my job (like before).
I am guessing that once my job knows that I don't have autism I am losing that help and I don't know what to do.
I don't want to be the kind of person that take advantage of the system and have benefits that doesn't need, but I do struggle and now I don't know what to do next.
I hope this post doesn't offend people with autism, I know this forum is for the autistic community and I am not sure if I should post.
