Hi
following months of doubt I decided to contact a Psychologist and we had a chat. He has told me that there is sufficient evidence Togo for a full assessment which is booked. However, even though I can look at how I behave and have it explained I have this doubt, fear that it may be wrong and I am fitting symptoms/ behaviours to suit. I scored 9 on AQ10 and 37 on AQ50.
The more I read and how difficult some people’s lives are mine doesn’t seem that bad, hence the feeling like a fraud. I may be overthinking this as well.
Part of me is frightened of being identified the other frightened of not being as it explains who I am and that’s important.
is this typical? Sorry if it seems jumbled
You are not a fraud, whether you are Autistic or not.
I often feel the same way. I have never been assessed, but am certain I have Aspergers. Life has always been a struggle, but I have always managed to get by on my own.
If your psychologist has suggested an assessment then I would go ahead with it.
