First assessment tomorrow

WhatsLeft

Hi everyone. I'm here with my first post and hopefully more to come. I  have been following others' amazing journeys though. After 45 years of going through all the struggles,  I'm nervously looking forward for my first assessment tomorrow. Hopefully peace and closure will follow.

  • Hi there (both of you actually), please don't take this as an offence but do you think there is anything where such a diagnosis will help you? I mean, it will help you to understand why you struggle with the things you struggle with, but do you think it will help you to struggle less? I'm just asking because I didn't want to be diagnosed with anything, I wanted to be told that I'm perhaps not completely average but don't have anything that would be described as a disorder and now I can't see anything where having this diagnosis would be helpful. There is no help after being diagnosed, it's just a statement that you aren't normal and that's it and you can do with this whatever you like. I still wish nobody had ever mentioned it to me but I can't turn the time back so would quite like to find something now that may get easier with having this diagnosis.
