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

  • i will also add, it is perfectly ok to tell them to ask factual questions. They will adapt the questions if necessary. (I had alot of stuff in the so-called questionaaires that just were topics, not questions. Just stating things like social life. Early childhood. Coping with day-to-day life, etc. Had to tell them i dont understand what they want me to say to them and asked for specific questions instead, much easyer:) )
