In the words of one of my many granddaughters, I wish you had your results "RIGHT NOW!" At 4 she's the youngest ( until February when a little boy is due ), everything is right now! I think her mom must say, "X get in here, right now!" The time waiting for something so life changing is hard.

UPDATE: Diagnosis - Autism, mild to moderate. General anxiety (secondary to Autism). Superior intelligence with very superior Visual processing. Reading disability (relative to capability).

So now if I could just plug that into an equation and see what I'm supposed to do with myself. Most my life I have been invalidated and I believed it: "oh, they don't see -or sense- it, so it must not be true ---but it seems to be, so it must not matter, but... sigh". So, I really do see (or sense) what most others don't. What do I really want and what is within my power to affect? I just have little questions like that.

I totally get you. So many questions... Nobody can really answer that for us.

You will spend some time now processing all of this. It’s a lot to take in. Hugs!

I'm glad that long wait is over for you :).
It takes a while to sink in especially if you've doubted your own suspicions. Take time to adapt and the answers that are right for you could come forward at a pace that's suited to you.
