I’m being referred for diagnosis, and I have been asked to bring someone with me who can account for my early childhood. This is a bit of a problem; I’m 39 and the only people who are still alive or part of my life since childhood are my mom (who is mentally unstable and who I am not sure will understand “the process,” whatever it is), and my sisters. However, my sisters were also kids when I was young (kinda how being siblings usually works) and I question their ability to remember me honestly and to account for their younger brother objectively. Is this typical for the diagnostic process? How have you navigated through this choice? I don’t want to end up misdiagnosed cause my mom is nuts or because my sisters are all “yah - he’s just a weird younger brother, you know?”
