Thanks both :)
Ali, I may PM you soon, my ability to admin is somewhat diminished today but I would appreciate the information!
I’m not sure how much I agree with this approach, but after my assessment, when I had the meeting with the psychologist afterwards, she said that I had been diagnosed with ASD because I met the criteria for ‘disorder’ - that if it didn’t impact on my ability to function I would not have been diagnosed. I do find it interesting to think about it as a disability caused by society not the individual, and it’s interesting how many people don’t see their autism as a disability.
Definitely something to think about.
