Hi,
I’m an adult female (28) waiting for my ‘official’ diagnosis.
I most definitely have high functioning autism though.
I don’t have any friends so just wondering if anyone was local to Wiltshire who would be up for making friends with me?
Look forward to hearing from someone
oh nice, I think my nearest WADS is Warminster but I’m happy to travel as long as I get seen!
Thank you, I really hope so too! I might give them a nudge to speed things up
ahhh I’m sorry you’re waiting, I don’t know why I was seen so quickly. I went to Devizes for assessment. I hope you hear something soon x
I’m glad you had such a positive experience. Slightly annoyed now though as I was referred in November and I’m still waiting. My GP is rubbish though. Roughly what part of Wiltshire are you as that might depend on how you’ve been seen so quickly? Message me privately if you don’t want to say on here
Hi Moomin
I live near Swindon Wiltshire and was diagnosed last November by WADS in Marlborough
I was referred to WADS by my gp in december . Had my first appointment in March then two more sessions and was diagnosed in April! How long have you been waiting for? It was such a positive process for me, the assessor really understood me (I don't think I come across as that autistic but she saw through my masking haha) and how it presents in females :)
Oh hey! I’m still waiting for my assessment :( how long did you have to wait? Feel like I’ve been waiting forever
Hey!
I'm 31 and live in Wiltshire :)
I was diagnosed with aspergers a few months ago x
Haha
:-D
:-) to be fair it’s pretty much the same here in Essex

"Any adults in Wiltshire?"
No. None at all I'm afraid. Only children in Wiltshire :-D.
Thank you for explaining how to friend request on iPhone, glad you worked it out
Hi. I managed to do it on my phone by chance.
When you click on the photo, it takes you to their profile page.
Then click the right hand side of the phone, in a horizontal straight line from the photo. Then a + sign mysteriously appears with options.
Many thanks
See above
Any idea how to send a friendship request? Anybody?
Hover the curser above someone’s name in the thread, you should then get a drop down menu options box of send friend request or follow (I’ve only been able to do it on my laptop not my phone though)
Hi again. It did take 4 months for me to be assessed. I did have to email them a few times to make sure they had the referral. Once I worked out the friendship request thing, I will send you one.
Yes please
If you like I can send you a friend request on fb as I’m sure I saw you in the newbie list yesterday, less complicated. Let me know?
