Well after several months and multiple doctors and consultants I am finally a week away from getting my diagnosis. Its actually quite a wierd feeling right now, part of me happy it will soon be over but part of me also worries that they might say I am not autistic. Considering how many consultants I have seen, I very much doubt that is the case because they pretty much all said I am clearly have ASD. Does anyone know of any coping methods I can do to lower my anxiety this week or do I just have to ride it out?!
Well things didn't go exactly well. Turns out they cannot find any paperwork in regards to my autism diagnosis and as such they want to start the process over again which includes waiting a couple months. Thankfully the specialist I saw said that based on what evidence she did have, there is enough there to warrent a full diagnosis so I guess I'll just have to go back to the beginning of the line. Naturally she would not answer when I asked her professional opinion based on what evidence they had but there you go.
Oh and yay they put me on even more medication so now its, Duloxetine, Lamotrigine and the new one is called Quetiapine also known as Seroquel aka an anti-psychotic.
