Do Something Different

Hi Shannan, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for your videos. I recently went through an autism evaluation (ADOS + IQ test), and I had previously been tested for ADHD. It has been a terrible experience, and being exhausted and highly stressed didn't help at all. Anyway, I have to wait another month for my results, but your videos are incredibly helpful for me. They give me courage (and make me doubt myself a little less) while I wait for my diagnostic report. I’ve also had bad experiences in therapy (and during the evaluation) where I couldn’t respond in the moment (or automatically reacted by just saying something random and incorrect) due to delayed processing (and exhaustion), while trying to unmask at the same time. So much of what you share resonates with me. Except for the independent part...maybe :) at 40, living back with my parents (both in full denial about autism) and not able to manage both work and life simultaneously. Yeah, very 'curious' about my support levels. Greetings from Europe

Hang in there. I've moved in with my parents or with friend(s) at least once per decade of adulthood, including in my 40s. Sometimes we just need help. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I rely heavily on my community and they rely on me. We take turns leaning. Good luck with the assessment.

I'm AuDHD, and I was first assessed (unknowingly at the time, I wasn't seeking that, but answers that were directly because of it) in 2002, and last year, because I made a mistake of not ensuring I got a copy of records, I needed it on my records for employment records last year. There's more than one way his apparently unprofessional discussion could be taken: it could literally be as you thought it was, or... the assessment process he used deliberately included observing your behavior to all he said and did in all aspects. Since assessment at this time seems mostly about close observation of behavior, and the questionnaires can be absurd and ambiguous, the questionnaires themselves are a... suggested pattern of interviewing someone to understand their nature via observing their behavior. For example: last year in the couple sessions where I was assessed, she asked me to come over and look at something on her computer about ChatGPT. That was a logical thing to ask me, a tech worker involved with using AI, but the reason to ask me to look at that had nothing to do with the topic matter on the screen, it was a matter of me being the topic matter being evaluated in regards to how I communicated, verbally and non-verbally. In this context, I'm fairly convinced I was being evaluated for "joint attention" for which... I didn't do it in the non-autistic way, and that was elicited from me in a (for me) fairly normal sort of encounter. He was putting you into a scenario with social aspects and I expect he was fully evaluating you as you processed it and making notes, mental and/or otherwise, to understand how you work. I'd guess that he made up that tale for the sake of the evaluation. How much was for evaluating whether you were autistic versus a differential diagnosis of other things, well, you'd have to ask him. This is the way of many psychological types of studies: participants are asked to answer questions, but it's not the answers to the questions that were the intended result, it was the process of how they were answered and processed that they wanted to understand.

I would have taken his inappropriate like ..everything....as a threat. I feel like he was trying to tell you he is battling his inappropriate feelings towards you.

“Slow to process” I totally get that. I can write complex essays and fictional narratives, but grasping people’s behavior in real time often escapes me. I retrospect, I go, Oh! They meant xyz. So frustrating. That psychologist needs therapy … and a new career. But he is right about you writing a book.
