Am I unusual

Deleted User

Am I unusual in that  I didn't studiously plan my pathway to an autism  diagnosis? I had a  basic idea as to what autism was, but not anything like the minutae that many seeking a diagnosis have. It was very much a case of WYSIWYG with me. I didn't write copious notes detailing why I might be/was autistic.

  • I didn't either, I just told my GP why I thought I was ASC, asked for an appointment with a psychologist, saw him a few months later for an hour a week for a couple of months and he gave me a diagnosis and that was that. I had no follow up's or anything, so many people seem to get loads of stuff to ehlp support them, I just got told that as I'd managed without help of the previous 50 years I could carry on as before.
