Can I start again, on here?
Nearly wrote a massive long blurb explaining all my thoughts and things, but then thought no stop. Its time to stop posting and deleting, keep it short.
The short version:
50 something female. Asked for referral for assessment, got it, now decided against it for various reasons. So much on here is relatable though and I do have few questions I'd like to ask.
Edit to add: I've emailed the autism service and asked them to remove me from their waiting list, if I change my mind I could maybe take the private route but I'm almost certain now that I no longer need any of that. If it was a case of having a scan or a blood test then yes I'd go for it like a shot but forms/questionnaires/assessments, no thanks to that.
I’m also a 50 something person too. I was diagnosed last year. I needed to do it, but if it’s not the right thing for you, that’s cool. There were ALOT of forms!
Thanks L82T, I thought it was something I needed to do too but now I'm much less sure it fits so I've decided to back out of the assessment and concentrate on being 'me', see how I get on with that and of course avoiding all those forms is a huge bonus.
