I am worried about redoing the Intellectual Disorder and the Autisms Spectrum Disorder exam I will be doing to see how much that I have improve with the intellectual disorder or if I have autism spectrum disorder. I never done an autism spectrum exam.

Hi Buffy, I hope the exam went okay for you. Sending hugs.

[ChanderKamath]

I was unable to take the test because it cost me of $900.00 before I can take the test. I had to cancel the test.

That's too bad, Buffy. I'm sorry it turned out that way. Maybe an alternative way of finding out where you are, spectrumwise, will turn up?

I had to get my PCP to send a referal that I am on disability to get the exam done. I didn't struggle to much on the exam.

Me too. They were surprised with the question I was asked to do in my early 20 that had nothing to do with my mental health.

[Buffy01]

I'm worried that i might be consider no longer disable.

[Buffy01]

I had been informed i have improved in some ways and I don't have autism. I have a mild cognitive which is preventing me from learning to drive, live out on my own, work. It was very hurtful all because I didn't do well on A to 1 to B to 2 and i was timed.

Dear Buffy, I think well intentioned people sometimes just don't understand. I see how you try so hard & how difficult it is for you, but you give so much, in spite of what other things are hurting you. I wish I could let them know, whoever they are, how hard you try & how caring for all of us & a neighbor's cat that you are.

Thank you so much.

I just got the results. I have mildly intellectual disability and I am not allowed to drive or live alone.

[MuddyBoots]

I'm sorry to hear that, Buffy. You can still live a good life, though it may have more challenges than many.

Do not despair. I have worked with many mildly ID who live and work on their own. In their own apartments with minimal assist. No worries... You can have a very good life.

The psychiatrist said that I was aggressive, argumentative during the results. When I wasn’t I just shut down my emotions because the psychiatrist was very rude and hurtful.

@Deejay14, thank you so much for saying this to Buffy, & for letting us hear these words for ourselves, too!
