Like yes I'm sad, he's dead, let's move on shall we?

Even my poor 14 yo niece who is struggling at the moment is talking to me and I'm trying my hardest to be kind and sincere and help her,

but I feel really tight cos I'm actually thinking 'youve explained this to be like eight times. I get it, your dad, you miss your dad'

and I've always felt like a horrible person and the only thing that I've ever felt redeemed me was the fact that I'm like it with myself too, like I don't dwell on emotions too long,

I was so nervous since I had to do a lot of the research myself and convince my parents that I needed this for myself and it went really well!

I bought in a lot of the test results I’ve done like the RAAD-S test, Aspie quiz, and the AQ test to show some of the symptoms and results I had gotten and he actually used it during the initial consultation.

I had my mum there who piped in with her own examples of my behaviour which helped and I’ve been approved to go forward with an offical assessment!

He said that he believed I do have autism, which was so validating to hear, but he can’t guarantee I will be diagnosed with it since it’s a really in depth clinical assessment, so fingers crossed!
