Hi I've recently been referred to the adult autism team. I've suffered from anxiety and low mood for 10+ years now and it was just with my current psychologist that we began to explore the possibility of ASD.
Problem is I'm really struggling with the waiting time. It will take about a year to be seen and I'm struggling to cope with not knowing. Family say I have become obsessed with talking about autism and my thoughts are so overloaded. I'm trying to dissect and analyse every thought to try and understand is it ASD or not. I've tried to come to terms with reasons for anxiety over the years and throwing the possibility of ASD in the mix is making me feel lost and like all I've understood might be totally wrong. Did anyone else feel like this in the time they were waiting for assessment? Any advice?
