The journey to diagnosis began with a trip to my local GP. I went in armed with examples of autism traits and was ready to fight my corner. I didn’t need any of that. After saying I felt I was autistic, and wanted to be assessed for this, the GP set the process in motion.

Surely, I hadn’t got 97%. How would I feel if I did? I wasn’t sure it was a good thing. It felt more like the world was laughing at me. Telling me, ‘look what you could achieve, if only you weren’t so broken.’

I was due to get feedback for my Work-Based Learning interview. I looked at my watch, 11:59 a.m. It was scheduled for 12 p.m. I am nothing if not punctual. I would wait one more minute. Lena didn’t scare me, I felt okay around her. But the process of knocking on a door terrified me. I’m not really sure why.
Me too with doors... but also doorbells

'How are things, Rosie?’
I was sick of being asked that question. Things were terrible. Life was kicking the crap out of me. But I was still sat there, wasn’t I? So yes, give me a medal or something.
‘Yeah, okay,’ I answered.

The first step was to answer a questionnaire as how I interacted with people and my experiences with change. I filled it in and returned it. I then had to wait to see if I was through to the next round. I felt like I was being given challenges to prove my autism, if I was autistic enough then I would get through to the next round of mission autism diagnosis.
