I find the whole route to getting a diagnosis like speaking to a doctor, filling in forms, knowing how to answer them correctly, knowing what I struggle with when asked, articulating what I want to say without feeling like I am going to be dismissed really difficult.  The very process that does not align with having autistic traits?

  • Also, it's the assessors job to listen and assess, so I'm going to put forward everything I can to help them and, if they get frustrated by time/my approach, in that situation I won't be perturbed (and can forward it in text format too!)... I believe that is the one situation where it is my right to be heard, so hear me they will!
