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?!
I'm really sorry to hear this, that's as bad as it gets. You must be feeling totally deflated, it would be a poor experience for anyone, but honestly lost paperwork? All of that build up you've had, just to get such a por answer, there's no wonder we're always complaining about the diagnostic process!
It's just another case of dealing with it just because it is what it is I suppose, but what a let down from the very people we're supposed to rely on. I'm glad that at least they're acknowledging you need a full assessment, it's some comfort anyway, and in the meantime, you've still got us.
Take care of yourself, here we go again...
