Referral finally!

JMcGregor

Hi all

Well after a long number of years in and out of therapy for anxiety and depression, ive finally been referred for autism assessment!  So difficult on the NHS to have them admit its anything other than anxiety, its a very cheap diagnosis!  GP done a quick AQ test, i scored 8 out of 10, i did the extended one on my own and scored 32 out of 40.  It would certainly explain a life full of problems.  Just heard that funding was approved, so now the waiting game begins!  No idea what they are at in Scotland!

  • Well a bit of an update, i kept calling the GP to make sure the referal had been made, as she admitted she wasnt sure to whom she should send it.  As of last week funding had been approved, and the referal is made!  which im relieved at, the NHS being what it is - i fully expected those who sit round a table and approve funding to put a big cross against my referal.  Guess its just the waiting game now, who knows for how long!
