After half a year of waiting, I finally got my results after the regional center evaluation(ADOS-2 Module and Records). They have concluded that I do NOT have any kind of autism (thus I do not qualify for services). They concluded that I just have ADHD and Anxiety, which I thought was Ok.

However, my personal clinical psychologist disagrees as he believes my symptoms of autism are obvious, and that I have Autism, not ADHD. The Mental Health Acess center believe I have both ADHD and Autism.

Now I am not sure what to do. And the more I think about it, I don't believe I have "anxiety" (worry, nervousness or unease). If anything I am told by many that I am laid back, and don't express my emotions well. Have any of you gone through this? Is a second analysis recommended?

I would definitely seek a second opinion if I were you.

Thanks, I think I will have to go that direction.
