Hi.
I have posted on here before. But I actually spoke to a doctor today about the possibility I might have autism! He sent me one of those questionnaires. However, they don't seem to cover things like anxiety, mental health etc so I'm not sure what to think and hoping you all might be able to help. As a child I presented challenging behaviour (causing trouble), I had a few meltdowns, I had repetitive behaviour to control anxiety - I have had bad anxiety since childhood. But the questionnaire doesn't cover any of this. Should it? Are these questionnaires thorough? I still have anxiety which makes me feel overwhelmed. I'd love to know your opinion.
My diagnosis was very long. § A questionnaire usually needs to have at least one doctor talking to you as you fill it out. § I always had two seekers. § Questionnaires are valid. Don't worry. But I don't understand if the questionnaire was a presentation and would make logical sense. Or diagnostic and the logical sense would not subssite. § There are many autistic people in my family. Talking about it to the doctor in some cases is the evaluation of an objective possibility. § Talking about a diagnosis with a specialist doctor is too. In case that's not your diagnosis, you're doing nothing wrong. § If a person has a doubt it is right to express it. If it is legitimate, the doctor will evaluate it. They are hardly wrong. § My particular way of looking made a researcher immediately evaluate. HE studied Eye Tracking exactly. § He told me after 2 hours of visit. I thought he would send me out of there after 2 minutes flat. Instead they initially became 120 minutes. § Then over 8 months. § For Italy we had used one. And I know the test validity rates and they are very high. § Many diagnoses are also mixed so they include variants that go alongside autism. Usually they are not at all dissimilar. So and basically the diagnosis on well performed tests is excellent.
