I had an assessment and I was on the border. In the end, the assessor said, I don't know! She decided that childhood trauma was probably responsible for a lot, and decided a diagnosis would serve no great benefit. I feel there wasn't time to cover a lot of things, but at the same time, I was in two minds, because the spectrum's huge, and I had mixed feelings about being labelled alongside hopeless cases. :-) I guess I try to be sympathetic to people who're bad enough to get that diagnosis and might have difficulties.
