I have started the diagnostic process with a psychologist, who after speaking to me believes that I am on the autistic spectrum, but I need to complete the different parts of the diagnosis for 'evidence'. I don't want to involve my family, for personal reasons. The psychologist said that they will skip that part and go onto the subsequent part of the assessment, however if they haven't got enough evidence (apparently my signs are subtle), they many need to speak to a family member.
I am aware that there may be other instruments they could use, but I have not been advised of these. Is it the case that sometimes family must be involved (ie. when the outward signs are subtle)?
Thank you.
