When are you likely to get some concrete answers ?



It was less stressful than I'd expected.


That's why I hate anxiety with a passion , it always tells me worst case scenario , and worst case scenario has never happened.



I'm the same, and although I know that it's usually better than expected next time something's due to happen I'm thinking worst case scenario again.

Yep , I've never learned. Unless I get off my head on booze or drugs ( which I don't do anymore )

If you find you need more blocks on the block test and say "I think I need more blocks", which she gives to you, that's a sign you're not on the spectrum?

They aren’t going to say that you don’t have autism by the way you responded to one task. They look at the overall score.

I doubted that I was autistic before receiving the results of my evaluation, but I am.

Glad to hear that it wasn't as stressful as you'd feared, firemonkey. As for the "catastrophising"; me too, and I suspect that it's a common problem for many of us.

When do you get your results, Firemonkey? It seems like it's been taking a very long time; I'm sure you feel that more so that any of us. When is the date of the findings?

From seeing the pdoc who suggested ASD as a possibility to now has been 6.5 months. It seems a long time , but I've heard of people waiting much longer.
I wasn't give a date as to when I'd be told the result.
