I got my full psych evaluation test results back. They said I no longer meet criteria for Nonverbal Learning Disorder, but still meet criteria for a learning disability in math.
As far as the diagnosis, she said I did meet some criteria for autism, but not a few, and because I met criteria for a psychotic disorder I couldn't be diagnosed with autism.
I was instead diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder: Bipolar type: Mood in remission, psychosis present. She said my scattered thinking, lack of interest in things, lack of social skills and not being able to read faces and tell what sayings are all point to SZA. And that my cognitive patterns are consistent in what you see with SZA as well.
She's going to send the report off to my case manager for college, and she recommended the Community Service for Schizophrenia at our local psych hospital, as well as a speech language pathologist to help me organize my thoughts and get them out of my head when speaking and writing more easily.
So overall, nothing really changed. I just have a legitimate psychological full testing to prove I am SZA. With apparent "traits of autism"
