Question for autistic adults

apples

hi

Quick question i recently had my assessments and next week I have a video link to tell me if I’m autistic or not, they said question is it’s 30 min appointment which seems a bit long to tell me I am autistic so I’m panicking that it’s 30 mins so they tell me I’m not autistic but that maybe I’m anxious

How long was others who have been diagnosed appointment?

Thanks

My appointment was roughly an hour and 20 minutes and I was told I was autistic and the level before I left.

Thank you @Nightcity

Both my daughter's and my son's feedback sessions lasted an hour.

They will go over a few aspects of what caused them to come to their conclusion, as well as signposting you to support services.

They will also explain about the reports you will receive. Usually there is a very detailed report and also a summary sheet. The summary sheet is more suitable for handing out to people who help you - it has strategies they can use to support you.

I'll be interested to find out if you do get a level in your diagnosis!

My son was diagnosed 2013, before levels were given at all in the UK.

My daughter diagnosed just September last year. She wasn't given a level and, when i asked, i was told levels are more often used in America for insurance purposes.

Thank you @anisty i will update the outcome and if I am given a level

I did ask for a questionnaire at the start of my assessment but was told they don’t give out questionnaires
