First appointment on Monday
First appointment on Monday
So, I am (finally) having the first appointment for my diagnosis. I would be lying if I said I wasn't stressed at all... Any tips?
For context, I'll be with my father (they asked for a parent to come), with whom I have a complicated relationship (no hostility, but still he is stressful to be around).

The test seem to vary based on location. Many of us can probably tell you what our test where. I'll do the same. But my advice might be to assume nothing.
Mine was done remotely about a year ago. so that may have affected it. They asked I bring some items, dice, coins, paperclips, amd some other similar common items. I went in assuming it was to see how I might fidget with stuff. But they had me tell a story using the items as characters. This was very difficult for me as I was super tired at the time and had 0 creativity. I then assumed they'd have excepted me to be able to do this easily but it seems my creativity wasnt what they where testing.
I was unusually tired since I had to travel to my mom's place in a differnt city so she could be part of the test. Also my moms new kittens managed to chew through the power cable of the laptop I brought with me meaning I needed to (during a 15 min break) install a Webcam and zoom on my moms old pc, all while she was panicking so during the second half of the test I was beat red, sweaty, tired, and suffing a massive migrine. So if yours is remote, have a plan B and all your computer stuff up to date. Also keep kittens away from your power cords.
Thanks for your account! Mine won't be remote, and I don't have any animal at home (except some spiders but they are too cute to eat my cords).
