How many of your assessments turned out to be nightmares?

Hello I noticed a lot of who have been thinking on getting an assessment lately and I want to tell you my story of stuff but still scares and scars me today.

I'm wondering how many people that's happened to taking the test and finding out the results are not what you expect them to be insulting or upsetting or getting similar bad results I was thinking of taking the same test again but I'm afraid of getting the same or similar results.

What are your experiences with this test has anybody taken the test more than once?

My Aspergers assessment (in the UK) was the complete opposite. I was treated with dignity and respect, and the result was what I'd rather expected it might be. I got it done privately, and selected the least horrible-sounding diagnostician from my shortlist of 4 candidates practising in my area, after interviewing them for the job by email.

I know of another case (in the USA) where the client had less choice and the diagnosis was paid for out of some kind of poor-man's insurance scheme. Initially the diagnostician said she thought it was autism, but mysteriously changed her mind later on and gave a diagnosis of anxiety that the client "would probably grow out of." Intriguingly, the diagnostic report said that the testing had taken 4 hours, but the client was only there for 3 hours. Also intriguing is the fact that there was no documented supporting data for the report's conclusion that the client did not have autism, though all the other problems tested for (there were several) had such data. When the client had a second test for autism with another health professional, a diagnosis of somewhat severe ASD was given.

I wouldn't say mine was a nightmare, but I do not have a high opinion of the psychiatrist and have not sought a second opinion as of yet.
She told me things that I still don't know how to take, like that I shouldn't exist, that people like me just don't exist, because I'm both logical and creative. After all the testing was done, she told me that I fit the DSM5 criteria for autism, but she didn't want to label me because I could recognize the expression of a frog:

I said it looked happy. Considering I've spent years studying expressions (because I'm an artist and want to depict people accurately and because I have trouble with them and wanted to improve - guess it worked). She also said she didn't want to label me because I could tell when I've said something wrong - such as an incident where I said something and the room went silent with everyone staring at me... Oh, and because I didn't talk incessantly about my special interests.

Yet... I have a monotone voice, don't do eye contact, don't do social chit chat, don't pick up social cues, etc etc... Maybe because I tried getting assessed at 27, after I've had a lot of time trying to figure out ways to get through social situations? They couldn't even figure out my IQ.

Oh, and she was also one of the ones who helped assess my son, who they agree seems to be on the spectrum (though they said he's awfully social). Dad just says it's our own special brand of autism.
