"Yes yes, let's put the ND kid in a tiny white walled room with florescent lights and a lot of electrical noise and the loudest clock, using the loudest keyboard and mouse to take this test to see wha
I know that the mental torture/overstim is a test in and of itself for it but also, guys. If your patient literally has a full verbal shutdown afterwards and when you walk in they are covering their ears and panicking, and not responding to you, maybe you WENT TOO STORMING FAR?!?! AGHHHHHHHHHHH
At least I got a diagnosis? But still..........
...
Plus none of the questions made sense!! How do you expect me to answer correctly, give a whole "validity" speech, and then put questions I don't even think a NT could understand???
And I don't even see the point...? There wasn't cameras, she wasn't in there during the testing, would not talk to me after I finally finished, and I was really screwed up after that. It kinda lead to verbal shutdown as previously mentioned, then some pretty heavy dissociation, then emotional overwhelm, so why was that necessary...?
Plus the questions thing?? I can't ask questions when you make me answer things that make 0 sense??? Wth?!
TLDR: It might be banned but not in mine, wish it was, and it really really sucked, going insane. I don't know how that's... reasonable? Just for testing?
I don't like that... it was literally like torture, because hearing the clock just going tick tick tick tick tick and the buzzing of the lights, the weird noise from the sound maker thingy, the vent constantly making noise and was right below me so air was touching me, the floors were carpet, the room was reflectively white, which gave me a headache, the keyboard clacking was SO loud I almost threw it across the room, every time clicking the mouse I winced, couldn't stop moving because it was so bad...
I don't know.... I wish it was, but clearly not in mine.... All that just to get an autism diagnosis... Been in a constant state of overstim lately, those tests did not help. I don't know..... It's done now, but still.... they gave me first diagnosis but still reviewing Ig, but... I was either not really there, verbally shutdown, or trying to not choose violence but still violent in smaller more controllable ways...I was this close to breaking the storming clock, slammed head into wall and desk a few times, it was either violence or shutdown or both.
