Good to hear you have been signed off as fit to work, woodpecker.

Autism is a difficult thing to discuss with occupational therapy, considering that there are a lot of misconceptions and prejudices surrounding autism.

I had the first meeting with the psychologist today, she talked to me about the process and set up the appointments for the various tests and interviews today.

I will let you know how I get on.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
