Concerned that I might be told I’m not autistic at my assessment

RuthTaylor

Hello All,

I have my ASD assessment in less than a week and am getting very nervous and apprehensive.  It sounds weird, but I'm getting worried that I might be told that I'm not autistic and that it will leave me with more questions than answers about my struggles. 

I've written a list for my Psychiatrist about why I think I might be autistic in case I go blank during the assessment.

I scored quite highly on the ASD online questionnaires online and have been watching videos about women with autism and felt like I related a lot to what these women were going through. 

Quite a few of my friends have told me that they think that I'm not autistic.  Not sure if I'm wasting my time.

Just want to hear your thoughts....

Thanks in advance

  • Make a list of reasons why u think u are autistic. ( you have done this step )

    include blood relatives in your family who are autistic or adhd or called weird/different

    and a list of occasions when u have been called weird, autistic, different

    the list should be electronic ie so you can email it to anyone who wants it.  This ensures they don't miss anything.
