Three weeks of uncertainty.
Three weeks of spiralling.
Three weeks of looping.

Screenshot: “On the SRS-2, Lexy's Total score fell in the Severe range. Scores in this range indicate deficiencies in reciprocal social behavior that are Clinically Significant and lead to severe and enduring interference with everyday social interactions. Such scores are strongly associated with a clinical diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. On this measure, she endorsed Clinically Significant social deficits, including difficulty understanding social interactions and cues, difficulty interpreting and expressing nonverbal and expressive social communication, and limited motivation to participate in social behavior. She also reported a Clinically Significant level of stereotypical behaviors and/or restricted interests. On the SRS-2 observer-report, Lexy's husband's Total Score fell in the Moderate range. Scores in this range indicate deficiencies in reciprocal social behavior that are Clinically Significant and lead to substantial interference with everyday social interactions. Such scores are typical for individuals with autism spectrum disorders of moderate severity. On this measure, her husband described her social awareness, social cognition, and social motivation as At-risk/ Subclinical. His Clinically Significant score on the Social Communication scale suggests that she displays deficits in communicating and expressing nonverbal communication. Further, he also reported a Clinically Significant level of stereotypical behaviors and/or restricted interests. Additionally, on the GADS observer-report, Lexy's husband's completion fell in the High range, indicating a high likelihood of having autism spectrum disorder.” Screenshot: “In order to assess Lexy's social interaction skills and presence of unusual, repetitive, and/or stereotyped behaviors and interests, Lexy participated in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition (ADOS-2), Module 4. This module was selected due to Lexy's use of fluent speech and her age. While opinion-based measures provided significant evidence of Autism Spectrum Disorder, the performance-based measure did not support this. During the ADOS-2, Lexy's speech consisted of complex sentences. No unusual intonation, volume, rate, rhythm, immediate echolalia, unusual phrases, idiosyncratic speech, or stereotyped use of words or phrases occurred during the ADOS. Lexy offered information about herself, her experiences, and the experiences of others, a trait typically not observed in individuals with a true Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Concerning conversation, Lexy talked frequently during the ADOS and engaged in a number of back-and-forth conversations with the examiner on topics such as traveling and enjoyment being around water, her relationship with her husband, interest in trauma and the brain, and frustrations working in mental health. While most times this occurred in response to direct questions, Lexy elaborated beyond what the question required. Lexy responded appropriately to comments made by the examiner and as such, conversations were easily sustained. Lexy provided a detailed verbal account of how to brush her teeth during the Demonstration task and used appropriate descriptive and empathetic gestures throughout. Descriptive, emphatic, and emotional gestures also occurred routinely during the ADOS. Lexy spoke often with her hands. Typical individuals with ASD display limited use of gestures. She also provided sufficient details regarding routine events on a number of areas of conversation.”

Further evidence of how I used evidence to beg & plea to be seen, heard, & understood during my #neuropsychologicalevaluation / #neuropsycheval in anticipation of the review for my request for an #autismassessment.

Screenshot of email: “Hello, I apologize for the delay in submitting the questionnaires sent home for my husband to complete, and I am perfectly okay with rescheduling the appt to go over results. I avoided submitting his questionnaire because I feel that I may still be overlooked for an autism assessment. During my intake, the provider asked if I have difficulty carrying on a conversation and pointed out that I didn't seem to have any problem carrying on the conversation we were having. Later that day, I watched a TikTok from an autistic woman who described neurotypical conversation as a tennis match, where the ball is batted back and forth. Neurodivergent conversation conversely, she stated, usually entails holding on to the ball until the other person comes to get it. I ended up sobbing after watching that video because it thoroughly and accurately described a struggle I've had my entire life, which I didn't know was a struggle. I am frequently confused when the other person doesn't jump in and engage with the conversation. The people closest to me are all neurodivergent, and we never struggle in…” Screenshot continued: “neurodivergent, and we never struggle in conversation because they know to come get the ball. I've spent my whole life labeling myself selfish for "hogging" the conversation, according to neurotypical standards, when in reality, I just didn't understand the neurotypical rules for conversation. I am so good at masking that I blend in easily, and people rarely know that I am struggling. It is for this reason that I and other neurodivergent girls and women are overlooked during the diagnostic process. To all appearances, we aren't struggling, but sometimes we are working much harder than our neurotypical counterparts just to maintain appearances. During the intake, if different questions had been asked and phrased in a way I could easily understand, I may have given much different answers. I also struggled to immediately call to mind all of the things I struggle with that I've learned neurotypical people don't struggle with. I've attached multiple assessments with reasonable, evidence-based support for their application. According to pretty much every self assessment I take, I am not neurotypical. I'm not sure how my husband's answers will be scored, and I did…” Screenshot continued: “husband's answers will be scored I, and I did not assist him in answering the questions, but I ask that you take into consideration two things: 1. he is also VERY neurodivergent. 2. he only knows the parts of me that I've masked (purposefully or not) or safely unmasked around him. I disagree that anyone but myself is a better judge of my experience. I think the problem is not that I lack self-awareness; the problem is that I've had to find my own support and tools to describe the experiences I've been having. My self-expression is only as good as what I've been taught to express. Please consider that it was a very overwhelming experience even starting the diagnostic process because I know how people perceive me and have perceived me my whole life. People think that because I'm "smart" and adapt quickly that I am not struggling. I have been able to identify that I am struggling significantly, and I am looking for the diagnosis that will give me greater access to the support and tools I need to succeed as a neurodivergent human being in a neurotypical world…”

Sensory needs are a huge part of being autistic and affect communication, emotions, focus, and overall well-being—so why is it often treated like a footnote in assessments?

Autism Assessment Update:
Per my usual, I misunderstood—this was the pre-appointment to the assessment, which is an even longer wait… and expensive. The therapist, though, was incredibly nice and affirming as I cried and infodumped all over her. Progress, I guess?
