First Part of Assessment

Wellington

Hi everyone. The first part of my assessment this week and my anxiety levels are through the roof. Even though I have reasearched and read about what happens many times I am not sure still what to expect and I am worried I am doing the right thing. Well, I need to know for sure but it is just worrying to be finally doing this. 

Does every adult that has been or going through this feel the same? 

Whatever the outcome I want to say thanks to everyone for the support on this forum.

  • I've never been through it, Wellington, but I'm pretty sure I would feel very much like you if I had.

    It is very tough, but in the long run you will be glad you went through with it because it will give you a better understanding about what makes you 'tick.' Without having confirmation about the way your brain operates you'll always be wondering why you felt this way or acted that way and a diagnosis will allow you to manage your condition more effectively than not.

    The stage after a diagnosis will be acceptance, which is a very important part of managing autism and there are plenty of people on this MB who can offer you good advice on that one.
