Really glad to have found this forum. I've been reading extensively about autism, particularly in women, over the past few months after years of trying to figure out "what my problem is" and why I struggle so much with life and it's been a real relief to read about so many familiar experiences.
I'm expecting to be diagnosed in the next few months - my next assessment is in 2 weeks and then there will be one more, if I "qualify", ha. I'm very sure that I have autism, but can't help being nervous that the clinicians won't see it and I'll be refused a diagnosis. I think that would crush me and I would be at a loss as to what path to take next, as I think I've exhausted nearly every other possibility. Has anybody here had that experience and how did you continue?
