I Need some reassurance

Hi everybody, I'm 32 and new to all this so firstly I hope I am in the right place 

So here's my problem, I had an assessment for autism about two weeks ago and I will have to see them again in November. 

It's been stressing me out because I left with more questions than answers. 

There were a few things that didn't get to mention which has been bugging me. 

The therapist said he can't give me any feedback because I might be different the next time I come. What is that supposed to mean?

Do they think I'm making it all up because of all the extensive reading I have done?.

My heads been all over the place since it took a while for me to get back into my routine which when out of place I felt so angry and I couldn't sleep or relax.

    I think they are just cagey about gving any feedback because the actual diagnosis usually depends upon more than one appointment and professional and involves a multi-disciplinary meeting at which they discuss your case.  I don't think they'll have made any assumptions about you and it would be very unprofessional if they did.  Just that they're going by the book.  If it's anything like my assessment, they'll accept any additional info at any of the other appointments or in between plus answer any questions at the end of the process.  I wish they'd communicate better during the process, though, so's you have an idea of what to expect.
