I'm a few days/weeks away from getting my evaluation results, for bothe autism + adhd, and I thought the process + potential results would be a huge relief and conclusion to my suspicions for 10+ years...
But at the end of the evaluation, the psychologist shared some of their opinions at that moment. She said she agrees that I have a high amount of adhd + autism traits, and that she doesn't even feel we needed to complete some long test they usually do for adhd, because even without scoring the assessments I had just done, she felt that was sort of obvious already. She then told me that it's a little tricky with the autism stuff though, because I don't have any reports from my mother, doctors, etc. of anything being "wrong".
So even if I have all the traits and fit all of the diagnostic criteria [based on my recollection of my childhood struggles and traits] - I may not get diagnosed because I either masked too high or the people around me didn't notice anything wrong or "different" enough to point it out.
This has been giving me a crapload of anxiety and stress the past few days, as my family has always been dismissive and my struggles have always flown under the radar... So shit be sucking :[
(also i asked her if there was anything else contributing to a doubt towards the autism diagnosis, or if the social stuff (body monitoring, scripting, etc.) could just be adhd by itself [not typically but i wanted to ask to prompt her to answer or think a bit] - and she seemed to avoid actually answering, which leads me to believe that the lack of external reports is the only reason she'd doubt a diagnosis.
In summary: Thought I'd get a direct answer and then feel immense relief. Was wrong. More stressed than beforehand.
So, i am obviously in a different boat than OP - but i figured dummy, stressy, bad evaluation feeling sharing may help :]
