I just did the assessment

Hi

I just did the ADIR. I did the ADOS last month. I feel drained. Feel like ive spent 3 hours of my life trying to convince someone Im autistic enough for her criteria. 

Feel absolutely exhausted. 

Got to wait for the result now.

  • It is a surprisingly strange thing, talking about yourself. I felt a bit weird afterwards.

    I found it hard not knowing the result and waiting. I kept fishing but they would give no hint. I was sure they were going to say I was normal. I didn't think I was autistic enough. I just tried to be honest. But I ended up meeting all the criteria.

    Anyway, well done.

    I found it hard to prepare for the result. I saw pros and cons to both results. I didn't feel how I thought I would feel when I got the result.
