Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Sometimes I wonder a lot about why the people who did my autism assesment scored me high enough to be just below the criteria for autism, cause I thought I nailed that silly test.
Then I remember that I described the feeling of happiness as cold water running down my spine, and maybe they weren't so wrong after all...
(I still stand by that description tho, not my fault they aren't able to see it that way)
I think the story of the time I was assessed for autism is really funny.
So my main "symptom" was sensory issues (still is). When I started the test I quite quickly realized that they were only looking for social issues, which I have never really had. So I quite quickly told myself "ah okay, yeah I'm not gonna get a diagnosis from this" which was correct.
But a few weeks after the test I was called in for a meeting to get the results. And no shock it was negative. However the lady started saying shit like "yeah so you did score a lot higher than people without autism usually do, but not quite enough for a diagnosis" and Im still over here thinking "what the FUCK made my score high????" Cause I felt I did all their tasks and questions the exact way a neurotypical person would do them, and that they never actually asked any questions that matched with the symptoms of autism I was experiencing.
I still don't have any idea what made my score so high, but with my tourettes it isn't surprising
I finally got my autism assessment yesterday and I was supposed to be emailed documents to fill out… I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE THEM A SLIGHTLY WRONG EMAIL :(( I only got the first freaking letter wrong , it’s supposed to be lowercase not uppercase 😞 but my therapist sent the person an email for me :3 so yippee!
