A wonderful experience from start to finish. In every other medical setting I’ve felt extremely rushed, spoken over and pressured into being quiet prematurely or hardly listened to at all. I’m never given a chance to express myself, dig deeper than just answering questions superficially or feel safe enough to really accomplish anything. I know other people with ASD can relate so I was a nervous wreck going into this meeting fearing the same would happen. I’m delighted to say that was not the case here. Dr Babak Arabshahi made me feel safe, validated, appreciated and like I didn’t have to apologise or fight to be understood. I take a long time to organise my thoughts and get to the point but during my assessment, that was never made to feel like a weakness or an embarrassment. He’s the perfect person to open up to as someone with confidence issues and now ASD; the very picture of calm, kind and gentle in his approach and I couldn’t thank him enough.
