#The first assessment is 14th Nov. Then 24th. Then December first. Then feedback five weeks later or so.

Hi! Edited this page to change my name because I was trying out a different name and have since discovered that no, actually, I do like Hannah, Han or simply H (all have their own charm to them).

This blog is supposed to chronicle any thoughts and feelings and observations I may have that are relevant to my upcoming assessment. I'm not entirely sure what's being assessed, but I do know it's over the course of four sessions, is quite expensive, and ought to be comprehensive - at least, that's what the doctor described it as. And ultimately it's for suspected ASD. I and some others also suspect ADHD, whether AuDHD or simply ADHD on its own. I remember first looking down the diagnostic checklist and thinking, 'Well, this explains my entire life.' So I think it's very likely I have ADHD, whether or not I have ASD or not - but the doctors seem to be focusing on the potential ASD aspect.

It's pretty clear I have family history of ASD, despite what some family members may say. *side eyes my mother who is convinced it doesn't exist in our family* So I'll be very curious as to where this journey leads me.

I invite you to join me.
