I wish they’d told me which one so I could work on it lol. |

| In my official psychological report, my evaluator stated that my affect was constricted, and at times my voice modulation and volume seemed incongruent with the situation. I’m not sure exactly what this means? |

Thanks! I am entering my path to self discovery. I’m starting to realize why I am the way I am, officially. I’m slowly not masking anymore and embracing my autism. It’s nice. |

| I often don't know exactly what to say about a diagnosis announcement. I'm sympathetic towards anyone who receives a late diagnosis, because I know that it can be a very difficult adjustment. However, I suppose it's good to gain a better understanding of how your mind works so that you can make the... |

| I got diagnosed with ASD level 1 and mild anxiety. I’m not sure how I feel, but I’ve been on Wrong Planet for a year now and have been scrolling for longer. I’ve known, essentially, but now it’s just in writing. |

| i have the same thing going on where me and my parents realize we could have mentioned more, but the tests they have you take are pretty thorough and I’m sure they’ll let you tell them on the day of and maybe they could do further evaluation? The process is really vague to me and I’ve been overthin... |

| Relax. No matter what the diagnosis is the only way it changes you is it makes you more self-aware. But played correctly you might work some humor into the equation. I am just worried that I did not give enough info. For some reason when I am not feeling something currently, I forget like I’ve neve... |

| The eventual results may not be you are autistic or we don’t know. It could be another condition which would also provide clarity. Poor working memory is a feature of executive dysfunctioning common on the spectrum. That’s very true, thank you for that. I have a weird feeling they are going to diag... |

| I didn’t mean to sound dismissive in any way. I was sensing that you wanted an autism diagnosis to provide yourself with clarity. I’m sort of glad I had a clear diagnosis from a very young age. Oh no I didn’t find you dismissive at all. I’m just not sure. I think a diagnosis will make me feel less ... |

| I hope you get a diagnosis that pleases you. My diagnosis was A u t i s m S p e c t r u m D i s o r d e r , L e v e l 1 ( M i l d ) with an additional comment that I also met the criteria formerly associated with Asperger's Syndrome. That evaluation did make me happy—it explained so much. I was ab... |

I’m not sure what I wish. I guess if I don’t get diagnosed with Autism I will wonder why I am the way I am still. |

| They didn't ask me a lot about my early childhood, but I had a lot of that type of information in my school and medical records. My testing took a few days, how long did your testing session(s) last? It took 2 hours, but he also got my chart from my therapist who I’d been talking to for around 4 mo... |

| I had my autism evaluation, and I will get the results back August 31st. He had me answer a lot of questions, and do multiple tests. One of the tests was a digit span test to test my working memory, I did poorly. Another was giving him my own definition of a list of words. I was unsure what the one ... |
