I Don't Like Eggs......?

I would need prompting... I mean... Well. I will need to be asked the right questions before I can answer. Otherwize it is months of careful thought!

I wonder if you know who will be doing your assessment? If so you might be able to get a copy of the DH questions early, so you can start to work on it. Mine took me a couple of months. In the meantime, or even if you don't end up needing a DH, it's a good idea to start making notes about whatever comes to mind. If you don't do a DH you will still want your notes as personal prompts for when you speak to the assessment doctor.

You're the only other person I've seen that has mentioned "creamed eggs". I'm very curious as to what you mean by "creamed eggs".

My grandfather was a milkman and he made a dish called creamed eggs and I've never seen a recipe anywhere that is similar to the way he made them.

I like eggs in all forms. I have never tried them raw and don't have a desire to. You like them raw, Mountain Goat??

M.G.,

You said "when I am assessed". Did you try taking a self-guided online quiz? Once I became really suspicious that I am autistic, I contacted "Autism Speaks" and explained my situation. I asked them how I could know if I had autism. They sent me URLs to two online quizzes. I scored poorly on both of them. So now I am reasonably sure to the point of being 99% sure that I do, in fact, have it.

At my age, I see no real point in seeking out a "professional" diagnoses by and "expert". In America, that would probably cost me at least several hundred dollars to find something out that I think I already know.

What I know as creamed eggs are chopped boiled eggs with Béchamel sauce (similar to Alfredo, butter, flour and milk) usually served on toast, not sure if it's the same in the UK.

I love eggs in all forms too, including raw (just the yolk), or raw and mixed with other ingredients without cooking.

I did the online things which gave the results that are on my signature below if those make sense? Not sure how accurate they are.

Maybe an idea. I have taken a few notes when I found out I have traits as I was really surprized to find aspects of my character were traits. Haha. It is wierd to find that. I mean...From knowing hardly anything about autism to then finding I had quite a few traits... It was and has been quite a shock and a journey of discovery.

But going back to a puzzling question I have and a realization... Well.. If I am on the spectrum and looking to how I am now and back at my history, how was I able to function soo well over so many years? And how well masking was working! Oh, I know I was masking and I was good at it, but strangely, though masking is one big act, I find that I never wanted to be an actor as... Well. Masking is an act that one puts on because one has to. Acting is to me a false world that I am putting on top of a real world that I'm already acting in? It is the very thing that I want to get away from if that makes sense?
Anyway... Ok. I am thread drifting again now.

I never did care for egg-salad - yet, I love eggs cooked as omelettes, over-easy, scrambled esp. with home-fries, gravy, biscuits, and sausage!

Both of the above are "related to autism" in the sense of being one of many possible sensory traits which, if you have enough of them (or if at least one of them is intense enough), add up to criterion B4 of the DSM 5 criteria for ASD, "hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment." This is only one of the diagnostic criteria, and is one of the optional ones.
