Today's the day of my assessment. I am sat in a waiting room, my appt is in 15 minutes.

I don't know what to expect so I am understandably nervous. There's a box of Lego, and even though I'm the only one in the room, I'm a bit too embarrassed to go play. But want to lol

I'm here on my own. It's scary. I just hope that whatever the outcome, it's a positive one.

I wish you all the best. The anticipation is hard but the relief in finally knowing is real good. Sending good vibes.... and go play with the lego!

I had an hour initial session , then around 3 hour intensive questioning and observation.

Is that fast? I have no comparison so don't know sorry.

How silly of me to assume that I would have the answer in one session >_<

He said he'd like a chat with my mum and that he'll get back to me in regards the next step.

Dammit, I hate waiting!

That is really annoying, sorry. Perhaps ask for some kind of plan of what to expect and when so you have some more clarity. Was he easy to talk to though? And at least now you are on the way, right.

Good suggestion.

He probably wants to talk to your mother to see if you had any autistic traits in early childhood.

Duhhhh!

That's the standard part of the professional autism spectrum disorder assessment. Interviewing the subject's parents (to see what you were like as a child).
