Ok, had my phone assessment. I get discussed in the weekly meeting tomorrow, and will get a letter saying Yay or Nay in a couple of weeks.
If it's a yes, then it'll be an 8 MONTH wait.This is Norfolk/Suffolk btw.As it's something which isn't registering in my mind as important for me to know (In my head I already know) I don't feel anxious or annoyed with the long wait at all.I'm just... :|
Hi Chewie,I didnt have a telephone assessment, my process was; visit GP for referral which was no problemthen wait 7 months for first 1 hour face to face assessment with psychiatristthen wait another 4 months for the next two 1 hour assessments (luckily 1 week apart)then wait another 3 months for the final diagnosis letter to drop through the door (which was 9 days ago)I needed the 'bit of paper' official diagnosis both to wave at NTs for proof but also even though I pretty much knew I was on the spectrum my own self confidence has been so low the last few years I needed the validation myself too. Hopefully your wait wont seem to long, mine was a struggle at times and I found myself a therapist with experience of ASD back in the summer and she's helped me get through these last few months.
Good for you Chewie...
thx.and no spoilers till after Sat!;)
