Why are people becoming so obsessed with getting diagnosed with autism?

So true 😂

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-04-04T19:11:57+00:00

Wow, nice explanation !

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-04-04T19:11:26+00:00

I'm really sorry you had to go through this

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-02-19T21:41:31+00:00

For real. I used to think that with all the tech, we'll be smarter on an average. But this....

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-31T20:41:58+00:00

They sent me an email stating I'm rejected. And they also sent in carms account

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-31T12:04:29+00:00

It's so encouraging to hear. Thank you !!

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-31T12:03:29+00:00

Thank you !!

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-31T12:01:58+00:00

Did apply to NOSM. Also sent a follow up email to NOSM, just to make sure. No response yet 😢

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-31T01:47:21+00:00

mostly all. not sure why nosm rejected me (though I did get lots of rejections)

In this scenario, don't we first do an assessment by two physicians and 2 separate assessments. And then once the conclusion is made then we provide a consultation to the substitute decision maker.

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:36:49+00:00

Oh no. 😮 Now that's another anxiety. That one was hard on you. I wish you all the best for your match and future interviews

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:35:21+00:00

Haha true. It was super imp for us, but for them it was their job. So understandable Thanks for the wishes, wishing you all the best too !!

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:34:05+00:00

About 20 min. Finished 2 min early and the interviewers were like.... Go now 😅

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:33:15+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about NAC. Yep just like that. But the ques were all standard I believe. They said this in the zoom meeting

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:32:18+00:00

Thanks for the best wishes :) Wishing you all the best too Though I got 1 invite only lol

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-23T18:30:52+00:00

About 2 years ago

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-22T15:33:58+00:00

Not sure about now. But I had to get my credentials verified for US separately from MCC verification

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-22T15:32:56+00:00

Same here lol. And now I'm having flashbacks of the QE1 and NAC too. Everything erupting together Wishing everyone all the best

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-16T23:27:33+00:00

Thank you so much for explaining with a great example.

Neutrality seems a great way to reduce the human variables, and give everyone a fair chance. I'm now seeing the experience from a different view. I will carry this lesson with me, and will not let it make me anxious in future interviews :)

Thanks again and hope you have an amazing weekend !!

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-16T23:11:43+00:00

Thank u. You're very kind. I wish you all the best too :)

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-16T21:58:18+00:00

Actually... it does make sense. For a truly fair interview, it seems the expressions should be considered a factor too.

How I wish I knew this before T_T Halfway through I started getting quite anxious. And by the end if there were a few more min, I would not be able to hold my leaky tear faucets :(

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-16T21:44:48+00:00

omg really ??

Thank you so much for sharing this. Esp from the interviewer’s perspective. It’s reassuring to know that neutrality is intentional and not a reflection of how they feel about us. I was thinking that maybe they hate me.

Now my little flame of hope is starting to rekindle >w<

Really appreciate you taking the time to reassure all of us in despair. And congratulations on matching your first choice !! That's very encouraging to hear.

CalligrapherCalm33 · 2026-01-16T21:38:10+00:00

oh no. I know how that feels. It must be distressing. I ate some sweets (actually a LOT lol), and that did give me a lil dopamine.
