Advice needed regards my Aspie assessment. Hi all, im in the UK and just about to hit the assessment trail, now I keep hearing or reading about meeting the three things to meet the assessment required? What are they? To be honest its other people who have said I am AS and upon reading up a bit it would answer a good few questions about the way I responded/ behaved over the years in certain events but are my traits enough to give what seems months of quite stressful at times on the road to a diagnosis???
Yes I have struggled in making friends, terrible at reading people and almost OCD in some traits and the one or two main interests, people would prob say its unreal as to the level of detail in my interest for it ( for the record its Doctor Who - UK TV Show and all things techy/gadgets).
As a kid I was certainly a clumsy bugger, lost count how many times I broke my arms and twisted ankles etc doing day to day kids stuff! I also get quite worked up inside when people are doing something I see as wrong/ incorrect etc, for example if I am on the phone to a company and thier response to my problem or issue is in my eyes, quite illogical or just plain stupid or for instance if I tell them my double barrelled name and the keep using just one of my names, really gets me narked and others have said I can be quite inappropriate in my response to them.
I'm 41 now so the important part of my life is on its conclusion now compared to people who are young but getting a diagnosis may open up counselling/ cognitive therapy to myself and or say my wife who has been upset at some of my actions, totally not done by me to make her upset so maybe she can then get help to understand 'ME' as a possible AS?
So sorry if I've gone on but not quite sure how to explain what i'm after?? So if anyone can help what goes on and what these three requirements I keep reading about. If I don't meet all thats required I don't know if its something I want to put myself through if its gonna be a lengthy and stressful! Thanks in advance.
