Hi TJ
Well you made it through the appointment
That's one appointment out of the way!!! And it sounds like they're taking your problems seriously, so that's something at least.
And you have got a "maybe"..........so even if it turns out otherwise, it might help you regardless to try/use some of the things that would go along with if..........perhaps routines, perhaps structures, perhaps briefing people on your preferred communication, perhaps different activities, perhaps trying to avoid going into some situations which could overload you..........you know things like that.
So any dx can wait for now anyway, hey??
Let's work from the "here and now"???
Perhaps one of the things you can do in your one to one would be to go through some of your triggers (although I know it's not all about triggers!!) and find practical ways to work around or avoid them?? Other people e.g. your wife should be supportive in helping you manage them a bit better with a bit of a "plan" as well, right???
And you're going to have plenty to throw in with some of the coping strategies you've used as well, aren't you??
So...........just a thought..........
And try not to worry too much about things until Thursday, right??!!!
But if you do.........well you know we're here for you!!!
