I am taking a test in a few months and I am terrified. I don't know what to do if I am determined as normal and not autistic . although I already have a psychologist diagnosis this test to my therapist whether I am according to the exam.

my program for Northeast is only for people with developmental disabilities.

And my class is only for people with autism if I go to that class even if it's only for once a week one period



I need to be diagnosed as autistic or I might ill feel very sad and maybe have a big meltdown or shut down again.

Will I not be autistic anymore were I never autistic in the first place or is the test just not good.

I wish I knew what the test is what the name is

Perhaps I'm just a bit slow right now but even though I've read your post I don't really understand why you need to go through an assessment if you've already been diagnosed with autism. Why is it necessary?

I don't know why I should ask my theripist that maybe because it's an official test or something

I don't know not according to my therapist I think. I think they need their own testing but I'm not sure.

You should be able, with releases on both ends be able to provide your therapist with the results of your test. That's how my therapist was able to see mine. No extra tests should be needed.

I didn't take a test he just talked to me and my grandma and came up with the diagnoses.
