Autism Diagnosis at 37- What the Evaluation Process was Like

I've gotten quite a few questions about what the diagnosis process was like for me as an adult finding out that I'm autistic at the age of 37, and so today I talk about my experience, from start to finish. I begin with a overview of my mental health history, move on to when I began to think about asking about being evaluated, finally getting up the nerve to do it, and then go into detail about what my evaluation was like. I will put a time stamp below in the comments for those of you who want to skip straight to the part with the doctor at the psych eval, which begins at around 9 minutes.

Welcome to Someday I'll Sleep Autism Vlogs! We talk a lot about autism around here because as a family with four kids and one mom on the autism spectrum we believe that autism acceptance is extremely important. We also post family vlogs daily, about our lives. You'll get glimpses of what's going on at the moment in our lives, usually in a little town in Michigan, or in the city that Paul works in and where we have about a million therapy sessions each week.

This schedule isn't super strict but generally I am trying to stick to it:
Monday- Autism Sit Down Video focusing on Parenting and Autistic Kids
Tuesday- Day in the Life
Wednesday- Fun Activity with the Kids
Thursday- Day in the Life
Friday- Adult Autistic Perspective Sit Down Videos
Saturday- Day Off or News Videos (or sometimes random videos!)
Sunday- other (random, depends on what's going on)

We are a family of 7, with a Mom named Cammie and a Dad named Paul. Sadie is 11, Maggie is 9, Patrick is 7, James is 5, and Tessie is now 3!

If you'd like to help us translate and transcribe our videos we would appreciate it so very much! With 5 kids and lots of appointments Cammie doesn't have very much time left over after she finishes editing videos so transcribing is slow going around here! http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_p...
