I'm visiting my family in my country, the psychiatrist I'm sticking with, gave me a certificate of incapacity to drive due to my mental health - she listed depressive disorders and suspected autism. I shared with her being on a waiting list for assessment. She agreed that I indeed might be autistic. First her opinion was that there is no point in getting diagnosed at my age, but when she heard that im going to join a support group, she said its good then. I'm very happy that I've never heard from her any stupid comments which I used to hear from other psychiatrists in my life. She issued such certificate for me, because driving a forklift is written as part of my tasks at work. My manager was fine with me not driving it and never asked for any proof. But the problem is that now he is gone (they had a farewell party) and there are more changes in the management. There were more and more people amazed recently, that I don't have driver license and why don't i drive the forklift. I'm not sure, if and how they will view a certificate issued abroad and in foreign language, but maybe they would be fine with google translations if I bring the original.
I managed to find more of pictures drew by me in my childhood, more old medical records, they don't point to autism but fit to the persistent pattern of having specific issues since childhood. More proof of me being handled by mental health professionals for years. In fact the records from my toddler years are gone for ever, I have the emails from my father, which I showed to my therapist and he said these are typical autism symptoms in child. I have no informant.
Just sharing. I can't wait to come back home and make the next episode about Owl and Michelle. This time they gonna have more adventures. I got a beautiful lego set. I feel very happy and excited and somehow can't believe that my assessment starts in less than a week. Next Thursday at 2pm. I'm gonna have 3 appointments each week apart, before I get the final answer.
