Yesterday I was looking at a useful link to details about the DSM assessment. I am on the waiting list, however many years left to wait for an assessment probably.
I have a question for anyone who has a diagnosis. Over a year ago I completed the forms and other information, including evidence from my memory of early experiences. I also had a meeting following this where I was asked lots of questions and following that I was told they had enough evidence to go on the waiting list.
My question is regarding the formal assessment. When my son had his, we watched from another room and this assessment involved activities and conversation. That bit is fine, but as an adult they have to be convinced that this was apparent in childhood. I was wondering therefore if I would likely be asked again for examples at that time. If so I need to keep a note of them when I remember, as I am likely to forget when I am there.
