Assessment

Hi 

I'm not sure how you mean distant?

I found the autism assessment much more difficult, it sort of made me reflect on what life could have been like, because I think autism has played a bigger part in my life and restricted me somewhat.

Now I am only just learning about the positives of being autistic, but I had to get to rock bottom to find those things. 

I am waiting to try medication for my ADHD. My therapist has told me it can transform things for some people.

I hope all goes well today. I know how stressful they can be.

I have TRD and for a long time I just thought I was broken in some way. My assessment for ASD was hopefully supposed to help change that, so I'd change from broken to just a bit different.

It just seems be taking its own sweet time. Acceptance and understanding just seem to be a long way off.

Okay, TRD, I've just googled that. I understand now.

Depression has followed me around all my life and I've been on and off meds. I think it goes with the territory. I think a diagnosis answers this partly for me because I know it's how my brain is wired, but it doesn't take away the feelings.

I am trying to be a bit more gentle and kind to my myself these days and I'm finding new things that help soothe my tired brain.

You are not broken (BTW) just wonderfully different

Thank you, it's just one step at a time, over and over again.

I've just had a lot going on lately and it's just weighing on me more than a little.
