Diagnosed then forgotten

Alittlelost

I was diagnosed 4 years ago at age of 26. I was tested and diagnosed then that was it goodbye and no help offered whats so ever to cope from the nhs. There seems to be no one who specialises in autism and ptsd  therapy work in the nhs. I cant work a job and hardly leave my house and dont feel like im living. I struggle to communicate my needs and just feel like ive been forgotten. 

Is it common to be diagnosed by nhs  then just given no help?

  • There is specialist provision within the NHS but you have to fight for it. Talk to you GP about how difficult things are for you and all for a referral.  You'll probably have to fight fort it and then wait for ages once you are referred.

    The NHS does just discharge you post diagnosis but can provide support, eventually.
