Embarrassed

Clarkycat

Hi

Just got back from my assesment and feel mortified.  At the end of what I thought was quite superficial questioning and lasting only 90mins I was told I was very probably not AS.  I feel very embarassed and wonder how something so complex could be decided on so quickly.  I can't describe how bad I feel.  I suppose the fact that I come across as quite spontanious and at ease in conversation doesn't help.  I feel like a phoney and that I have trivialised AS.  I already have diagnosis for dyslexia (2 hour assesment) and ADD/ADHD (3 x 2 hour assesment) - also dyscalculia, dyspraxia, OCD and anxiety disorder.

I'm very confused, I feel stupid.

  • I am so sorry you feel like that. What were the reasons you thought you had AS in the first place? Have you spoken to any friends about your ideas? What were their reactions? Please don't feel like a fool - whatever, you are still you, and you still have your own struggles. You are unique and your own perspective on yourself is always the most important. Nobody can diagnose your personality.
