Finally - Assessment Date Given

How long did it take to get the date?

I've registered in Feb, still waiting.

But actually I stopped caring about it, I don't think I'll be nervous. I've read 5 books and many-many articles to be 99% sure on my diagnosis, and 70% sure I can be diagnosed. Why so big difference? Because low support requirement ASD is hard to diagnose, especially in adults with high cognitive abilities, who adapted (masked) well. So even receiving a negative diagnosis would not change my mind. 

The society is finally OK accepting a person self-identifying any gender. I think it should be OK to say "I am autistic" after doing few months of focused research, and nobody should be able to object it. Of course if you want to claim benefits from it - it's a tricky part and you still need to formally qualify.

Think about it, weight what you know about yourself, and stick to it. Of course it helps if a professional supports your self-identity, but even without it - you should know differences you have (due to ASD or not - doesn't matter) and learn to live with them.

I registered around then also.  I think it's been around 8 weeks since I returned my forms.  Good luck with your assessment.
