Got a call this morning informing me that my ASD assessment will be on the 11th of May from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at my local hospital. As I said in my previous post my concerns were that there really was not a person left from my childhood who knows how I was when I was a child as my father has the beginnings of dementia and my auntie who looked after me when my father was in work (which was pretty much all the time).
I did ask if I could just represent myself as my memory of my childhood is as clear now as it has been but they have insisted my father attend. It does make me worry that he is going to misrepresent how I was was as a child and probably damage the possibility of an accurate diagnosis. Now I love my old man but when he thinks the two other kids in my area were my friends when infact they were bullies who attacked me on a weekly basis that does raise concerns. The only thing he does remember is that when it came to schooling, I did not mix at all and that he had to attend meetings to discuss my lack of intergration.
Guess my nerves are going to be shot for the next couple of weeks but I am glad I am almost at the point where either way this is over and done with as its been a very draining process.
