I’m glad you had a good experience! /gen I had an assessment that took 5 hours. One hour was talking and the rest were activity-style tests. She took my informants information strongly over my own, and later told me that autistic people don’t care about others and are aggressive towards her. She also said social anxiety is the “opposite” of autism. Long story short I’m going to see a different person now.

Now thats some crazy bs you went through. So many of us have anxiety through the roof. Did you find another specialist?

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I’m currently on the waiting list for an assessment and even though it’s not with Psychiatry UK, it’s super helpful to see all of the questions that they sent you. I’ve been waiting for almost a year now, so hopefully I get my assessment date soon!! Happy for you that your assessment went so well :)

I had an assessment yesterday. I was diagnosed at the end of the assessment. It was similar to yours in the way it was just a conversation, there wasn’t any weird tests or anything. It took about 4-5 ish months total from beginning to end.

Do you mean that it took 4 to 5 months between the initial assessment and the diagnostic part?

Wow i love how you help us get organized and understand how the assessment works. I get very anxious when i dont know about processes and this makes a lot more relaxed although not fully relaxed. The stressing is big with this one here 😂 concerning your problems with the file...did you try to change the file extension? Youre trying to dowload and its .html...did you try to change the extension to .mp4 for example? The trouble identifying emotions or happiness could be alexythimia. Idk

Thank you for this video, Saskia. It was really helpful and reassuring. I'm on the waiting list for an assessment. I was diagnosed with adhd last year at the age of 57. It explained a lot of things but there was still a big piece missing. Autism will fill in another big piece of the puzzle that's been my crazy existence 🥴

Thanks for making this cool video. Doing my form just now, and really anxious. My sister says I'm definitely autistic and she's known for years. I'm really old now, but I want to know too. I did one of those on-line forms - I know they're not uber reliable, but it said I'm like off the charts. I don't think I'm that bad, but I kinda just know I am autistic.

@karenfox3821 2 ай бұрын

I'm 62, I have 2 autistic gr,sons, one savant one none verbal. I know I'm neurodivergent but need assessment which happens in 2 hours. After watching Saskia I just hope I have all the correct responses for the 2 consultants. Done weeks of research but feel extremely vulnerable and afraid they'll misunderstand me.

Hello there!! Im also autistic/adhd, I was diagnosed at a young age. Thank you for this video, decided to sub!

Anyone waiting should have a look at solutions 4 diagnostics, I went with my right to choose forms to my doctor on Monday and by Thursday afternoon they contacted me and sent me the forms I needed to fill out, I filled these out straight away and they emailed me back with possible appointments which I went and booked in for next week, all in all less that 2 weeks from when I went to the doctor to getting my assessment, very positive experience so far

Huh I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed and I'm doing a bunch of cognitive and personality tests. Even a Rorschach test. I did WAIS, Tower of London, tap test, some memory tests, connecting numbers and letters... Some of those might also be for ADHD. And Rorschach is more for fun my psychologist said.

should i not disclose that psychology is a special interest?

@saskiahdlt 4 ай бұрын

hmm, i would disclose it as it shows you have a special interest, but bear in mind that SOME assessor will try to twist it to make u look like you are malingering!

⁠@@flabbybum9562they did that with mine at first, and also said that because I had adhd and a job, there was no way I could be autistic (meanwhile, my job is working by myself on a farm with animals, and the rest of the 23 page report was a list of autism traits I had)
