“The results of this evaluation are indicative of autism spectrum disorder.”

Never before have I been so relieved and yet so dismayed to read such a sentence.

    Congrats. I am a week away from mine. I’m not hopful since I can’t seem to find any if the written records they wanted. I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice. I also have to go 2 hours to my home town just so I can help my mother access the online meeting. I half suspect they’ll just tell me it’s inconclusive because I can’t find my elementary transcripts from over 25 years ago.

      Congrats.

      Thank you.

      I am a week away from mine.

      I hope it goes well for you.

      I’m not hopful since I can’t seem to find any if the written records they wanted.

      They might be able to figure it out even without the written records if you show traits.

      I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice.

      That is odd. For me, when a part like that came, the evaluators provided those items themselves.

      I also have to go 2 hours to my home town just so I can help my mother access the online meeting.

      Hopefully it’ll be worth it.

      I half suspect they’ll just tell me it’s inconclusive because I can’t find my elementary transcripts from over 25 years ago.

      Again, they might just be able to figure it out via your demeanor if they need to. Here’s hoping that they can diagnose you, even without the records.
