Tempus Report post Posted May 27, 2009 It's come up so fast now; it's on Friday afternoon. I'm nervous as hell; if this goes wrong and he says for some reason that I'm not autistic then the (very helpful) things that my Uni has suggested such as use of a computer in exams, rooms for lectures/exams/tutorials that don't have flourescent lighting etc. may not actually happen -- they might I suppose, but I'd rather not have to purely rely on their goodwill if I don't get an official diagnosis. Dunno what to do really; I've written out some notes (well, 3000 words of notes anyway ) for myself to take with me to the assessment so I don't forget anything that I need to say, which have been horrible to write as they've made me think about the negative aspect of it a lot more. I just haven't a clue what I'll do if he doesn't support what my family have thought for years now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dee23 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Tempus, I am quite new to this whole subject really, so have no experience to draw on, but i read your post and wanted to wish you luck for your assessment. I have been rapidly learning that assessment and diagnosis can be a long hard road, you must have worked hard to get this far. There are some lovely people on this forum who i am sure will offer support to you whatever the outcome. I will be thinking of you on Friday. Good luck.

The appointment went well (was stressful as hell though), and I now finally after 6 years have an official diagnosis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
