TLDR: All told, from first request to diagnosis, it took about 1 year including waitlists and waiting for results. The testing itself: less than 1 hour in-person interview and maybe 30-45 minutes on online assessments. Full story: I feel like my assessment proceed was soooo different from what I’ve seen from basically everyone else on here. My insurance actually covered the assessment (which was a recent change from a few years ago when I’d asked and they only covered assessments for children and folks with high-level needs). So I only had to pay the co-pay for my in-person visit. ✨✨ But the part that seems weird/sketchy to me was that the assessor talked to me for less than an hour (was told to expect 1-2 hours for the meeting) and then had me take only 2 tests. I don’t have family to talk about my childhood, but she talked to my roommate (closest to “best friend” and has lived with me for like 6(?) years who did 1 test. When going over my diagnosis she talked about the ADOS portion of our meeting and mentioned the “how do you brush your teeth” which I DISTINCTLY remember her NOT asking because I remember that I’d seen that on here and was expecting it…so…maybe you shoulda spent more than 45 minutes on your assessment 😑 The overall timeline for this. I asked my psychiatrist (love her, super supportive, super compassionate), and she was like “Yeah! I’ll put in the referral.” Got a call from the scheduling people a few days?weeks? (not very long) later and they said they’d call back in 6 months cause of the waitlist. After 6 months, I got an appointment maybe a month or two out. At this point, things get atypical because my insurance’s mental health workers went on strike so the assessor wasn’t working. This pushed back the phone call to my roommate by like 2 months. A few weeks after that I got an email from the assessor saying she has everything she needs and she’ll follow up in 3(!) months to schedule an appointment for the results. She had availability open up for an appointment after about 2 months so I got my results yesterday. (permalink)
