Hi.
I have for my entire life always felt socially interacting with people is a puzzle I could never solve, my hatred of loud noise, writing problems, lack of social humour, and reptitive body movements, my difference was picked up as an infant by other children and some teachers, including head teacher, but I was never diagnosed.
I recently had a autism assessment, where the assessor acted aggressive and inappropriate, refused to talk about symptoms, only concentrating why no one referred me other than GP, refused to talk to my older sister, and I am not surprised to say I ended up with a diagnosis of depression, it took almost a year to get the referral done, and that fight now needs to start all over again.
When I started learning about autism, it provided all the answers to my symptoms, and reading the information on this website fits me perfectly, yet a professional couldnt put the pieces together which has led me to questioning myself.
I hope I am accepted here based on my own diagnosis, my family do support me.
