An encouragement to go for
Professional autism assessment
Delays
Until I don’t want to hurt others unintentionally
Until I want to be helped and able to help others
Another one encourages me to assess
Then they can help
Business mentor highlights
So that I can manage myself better
That sentence strikes me to
Actions
To be independent
Two people encourage
Many encouragement thus
There is an inner
Courage to go for assessment
Explain to the doctor
My condition
My communication issue
My friends’ hard time to understand me
Inspiration On: Tuesday, 1 December 2015
Since my friend/boss hasn’t returned to Singapore and tells me to wait, I use the time to go to polyclinic. There is also polyclinic near the office. I reach office first to switch the aircon to maintain the clothes. Then I rush there. The registration counters open at 1:30pm. After registration, I see the doctor and repeat the written WhatsApp message, “may I have a referral to a qualified psychologist who can help me with autism diagnostic assessment?”. So that I can speak clearly. Then she asks many questions and my preference hospital. I have no preference so she assigns me to IMH. I can’t accept IMH so I request for another hospital nearer to central. A government hospital is the other selected hospital. I feel so relieved because I don’t want to have a mental labeling.
Then I have the courage to share my reflections to my business mentor. I realize my autism is worse after I get married. She questions, “Then how could you able to compare that your autism is worse after marriage.” After many reflections, I compare my current found out condition with my condition before marriage.
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
The stresses of marriage can make problems big again…I am going through a similar thing. I am happier when I live by myself, without the chaos of my husband. I love him, but he is chaotic and stressful – he disturbs my peace. When I ask him not to, he disturbs it more. I never understand why a person would continue to do something when you politely ask them not to. Those type of people are confusing to me.
True. Even I am confused too.
