Hi. Newbie here. Nervous about video assessment.

AspieGirl1

Hello everybody.
I'm new to this community and I'm here because I was searching online for information on PIP video assessments. I came across you while looking and loved how there was such a great exchange of information between you all on many, many topics and just wanted to join in!
I'm a late diagnosed woman with ASD (it was still Asperger's when I was diagnosed 10 years ago), a degenerative back problem and IBS(D).
I was persuaded/pushed into applying for PIP and now have to have a video assessment next week - I don't even phone my family and they don't phone me because they know I won't pick up - so I'm having a huge 'Stressy Mary' situation.
Anyway, I'm planning on staying around here for a while so......pleased to 'meet' you all. x

Hi @AspieGirl1 Welcome 🙂

Heya @AspieGirl1 and a big welcome to the community from me too! 

Also hello from a fellow late diagnosed ASD person.
I totally understand the anxiety over the video assessments, I'm the same with phones etc, but honestly it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.  I think it was the fear of the unknown that was getting to me. 

If you wanted to get stuck in with chat, I highly recommend the Coffee Lounge.
