| I love balloons, I do have a fetish for them, but I have had meltdowns in the past when they’ve popped or when I see them somewhere, I would have put my hands on my ears and closed them to block out the noise, I still hate when they pop though, can’t stand it. |

| What did you have to do in your ADOS, and how did you struggle? Using a storybook with no writing, I only said what I thought was happening, found it quite difficult, didn’t give too much detail, she put things up for me to play with when she was writing, I didn’t even know I was supposed to play w... |

| Update: Hello everyone, I’ve had my ADOS today and struggled with it so much, the clinical psychologist ended up diagnosing me with Autism and is it normal to feel like crap and just like I’ve been hit with a lorry? Just feels like that if I’m honest. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me beca... |

| I’m from the U.K., Northern Ireland to be exact, I’m assuming I have NVLD (Nonverbal Learning Disorder) instead of Autism, but with NVLD if it’s what I have, it’s more so the struggles with time management and organisation, I struggle a lot with keeping my room tidy and can’t seem to clean it at all... |

| Can you Uber? I used Uber for mine because I wasn’t allowed to drive after a stroke. It was nice to have door-to-door service and not worry about parking. I didn’t take anyone with me but my mum is in her 80s and kind of senile. Start gathering childhood info whether your mum ends up going or not. ... |

| If you really want this assessment very badly.....take the bus. But, it would probably help if you had relatives with you. I know it's a tough decision. But...all in all....I would take the bus if you can't get your mother/grandmother to go with you. Should I need my mother with me as it says on my... |

I know what is done during... |

| That sounds like good news, congratulations. May I ask, does this mean you've had to wait 4 years for an appointment to get a diagnosis? Yes, the reason why the long wait is because in 2017, our government fell through due to arguments about a scandal that the now First Minister was involved in, bu... |

Northern Ireland's Health Service is disgraceful, it's horrible, plus the fact that we still have no government running at all. |
