​
I finally started the evaluation process. I found a psychologist near me who specializes in autism evaluations. I'm reading into him and he has been endorsed and praised by a lot of people. The first appointment lasted about 2 hours. I gave him a typed up document of 26 pages along with school transcripts. He expressed he was very grateful that I typed this all up. This appointment was last month.
He pointed out that this evaluation won't just be looking at autism.
He also said he'll be asking my boy and best friend some questions.
I have an appointment next week to find out the results but I'm terrified. I am scared of what it'll be. Mainly if it's not autism. I'm already diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, GAD, PSTD, when I was younger I was told I had ODD. My doctor thought I was bipolar. Because what else could it be? I've been struggling my entire life. I've been on so many meds and have seen countless therapists and counselors. my therapist mentioned borderline personality disorder. I would like an answer so I can get accommodations at school when to start going. Along with validation
How should I reduce my anxiety?
