My therapist told me yesterday that she wants to be get assessed for autism because she is pretty sure I have it. I really don’t know what to expect and it’s giving me anxiety 😭
it’s just so you have information! regardless of the result, it can just help inform accommodations and solutions for you and your therapist to work on. no need for expectations or anxiety

I just went through this and I turned out to be positive for it - it’s better to know, you’ll be okay. Accepting after knowing is the hardest part :)

i feel you. i have a habit of almost chickening out of stuff when i don't know what to expect so i always have to like convince myself to actually go through with it lol. i'm sure the test will be fine and i hope that your anxiety isn't too bad

I have the same concerns due to the stigma around autism and I have fears of potentially losing rights. I’m sure many of those concerns aren’t something I should let hold me back so I’d say go for it but I do understand the worry.
