Getting reassessed after failed autism assessment

Hi
I posted on this thread Can anyone here read body language and facial expressions about a failed autism assessment and got a lot of help.
You don't have to read it, just a summary, failed assessment in 2015, psych wrote to autism team to get me reassessed. The man who assessed me back then sent the letter they had written in 2015 asking me to indicate which parts I disagreed with.
I wrote a huge long letter, to be honest, I expected to wait ages, but he rang today, he read my letter and they are going to reassess me. Not face to face due to COVIID but in real time, either on phone or real time. I said I am not good in real time but will co-operate with them.
Fingers crossed I get the diagnosis.
 
How do you fail a autism assessment? Some people would call that a win. I got mine just because I was curious about my self diagnosis. I paid several hundred dollars to find out, but nothing has happened since. I just know for sure. Good luck with your assessment.

I have always believed myself to be autistic, I foolishly went to the assessment on drugs and as a female, masked a lot of symptoms.
I have meltdowns which are a safety risk among loads of the other symptoms.
By Failed I mean diagnosed as not autistic, but they are reconsidering after I wrote them a long letter and my psych wrote to them.
