Getting assessed as an adult

belles12345

Hi, I am currently waiting for an ASC adult assessment- it's been over a month since I first heard from my local diagnostic service.  Since I first asked my GP I have found out how many professionals are involved in this, and am finding the idea of being observed and analysed by so many people very intimidating. For those who have gone through the process, would you recommend it, and was it intrusive?  I feel that some of the support that I could access may be beneficial should I get a diagnosis, however I don't need access to any social services currently.

Does anyone have any advice on this?

Many thanks

  • basically the things they want to know is about early childhood- for example if you had any delayed developements, and social or behavioral issues, how you did at school, how you cope in social situations, how are you with making friends, if you have any sensory issues and why you think you need a diagnosis in the first place. (Is the condition having major effects on your everyday life and if you think having the diagnosis may benefit you in any way- like you mentioned, access of support being perfectly valid)
