Found 1st test letter on why I failed

NAS76953

I felt like they never truly tested me correctly pn second part of test I was on my own too which was hard. I have second asd test in future but might fail again because I don't show these symptoms I do get very winded and talk fast but only happens when I get very into a topic and only with online friends I can't show the real me infront of strangers.

But here's what they said why I failed. Funny thing us met many people with asd nothing like these symptoms maybe people who are on the higher end gave symptoms like this but im more on the lower end. I get meltdowns, sensory processing issues, and executive function disorder are my main hindrance. I have sone ocd issues noting major and more symptoms but the 3 i mentioned are my worst especially executive function disorder It has ruined me since I was a child.

At interview, Ross was casuallv dressed. He uses speech to communicate. He was observed to use some non-verbal communication skills to regulate and add meaning to his interactions. His intonation, volume and rate of speech were appropriate. He would offer some additional information without being asked. There is no evidence of formal, longwinded or pedantic speech. We did not detect any echolalia (immediate or delayed) or idiosyncratic use of words or phrases

Conclusion We were unable to garner sufficient evidence of the lifelong core impairments associated with autism which would meet clinical criteria for an autistic spectrum disorder. Feedback given to Ross that he does not have an autistic spectrum disorder

    Please don’t think of it as having ‘failed’ a test. Just because you didn’t meet the threshold for a diagnosis of autism doesn’t mean that you have failed.

    During assessment, clinicians are especially interested in differences in social communication and rigid and repetitive behaviour, but they are interested in other aspects of your daily functioning too.  Executive function difficulties often go along with autism, but they can also be because of other things. If you are convinced that you are autistic it might be useful to prepare for the assessment  by writing down the things that you have difficulty with. That way you will have a note to remind yourself of what to say or to give to the clinician who assesses you.

    It’s often other people who being up the possibility of autism before we consider it ourselves. I hope you get the answers you need to the struggles you have experienced all your life.

    Some people have both conditions.

    From reading posts here over the last year, it appears some clinics can assess for both conditions but most people get assessed separately.

    if you are thinking you might benefit from an ADHD assessment, usually your GP would refer you somewhere for assessment. As you are going for an ASD assessment it could be worth asking about it there.

    The system of joint or separate assessments for both conditions varies across the UK.
