Hi
I have had my first assessment for aspergers, i have to wait another 10 weeks for my next one.
I am trying to keep calm but its a difficult time having to wait so long
Hello, I'm also new. Is there anything in particular you are worried about. Are you hoping for a diagnosis?
I have to be offline for a while now but I will log on later.
I worry what happens if i do not get a diagnosis
Yes I remember being very worried about that. And after I got it, I worried that I had faked it or exaggerated it to get the diagnosis! you can't win - this is very common . I remember thinking that I would feel lost if i just ended up with something "meh" that was neither one thing or the other.
I took a list of my traits and input from my family with me, to remind me of all the memories, because some of them were a dang long time ago. I also had the same assessor for both sessions, so on the 2nd , I had to remember "don't mask!" "be yourself" . This leads to a common feeling that the behaviour was exaggerated. But in reality i just took off the mask to let my real self show. I had some months of confusion after but I am starting to get used to my new self now, lol.
Thank you
