Hi everyone. I have my autism assessment in a few weeks and since I booked it months ago I’ve been constantly thinking about it and feeling so stressed and anxious. Wondering if I’ve got this all wrong, will I get any answers.. I just randomly burst out crying (happens a lot lately) to my husband, he asked what’s wrong, I said I just wish I had someone to talk to who could understand. I’m just so confused at why I feel the way I do and the needing an answer is driving me crazy. How do I take my mind off things and distract myself away from all of this? I feel like I’m constantly thinking about it, looking up autism, reading about autism, listening to podcasts about autism.. all this and I might not even be autistic! I just wish I wasn’t so confused and worried. I can’t understand why I just can’t let things go! Does anyone else feel like they can’t let things go?

Do you prefer to be alone? I find I don’t really have many friends (one or two, who I don’t even see that often) but I actually enjoy being alone and doing my own thing. I work in a job involving a lot of interacting with people so I find that tiring and I prefer to spend my time off just chilling out gaming and going to the gym.
Hi there! I’m going for an adult autism assessment in a few weeks. I’ve done a lot of research and I feel that autism explains so much about my life but I’m so nervous. I’m wondering if I’m mistaken and will have wasted so much money and still not have an answer to why I feel the way I do about a lot of things. Autism seems to explain a lot to me and I actually feel comfort in that and if I’m told I’m not autistic I think I’ll actually be so confused. I don’t know, I just feel a complete mess at the moment. Just wondering if anyone else has felt like this or if you had an autism assessment did it go ok for you?
