How long to wait for NHS assment?

NAS65321

Hi just over a year ago I went to my GP and said I think I am autistic and I want a professional assment. She agreed and refered me to who ever. I last asked about this in around October and was told that there was a note on my file aknowleging the request and they would be in touch is they felt I should have an assment. I know things ahve been difficult reciently but is this normal? Maybe because I have got to 51 they feel I don't need an assment? I have been very fragile since my dad died in April and have been on anti-depressants for months.  Anybody had recient experiences of NHS diagnosis?

thanks

  • Thanks for the comments, I think I shall leave it a few months before chasing it up. It has been a tough time for everybody but what I really want is to talk to a professional on how this may effect me going forward. I am furloughed from work but worried about coping when i do go back full time. I reciently passed up a new job as I didn't think I could cope with the change at the moment. Just dont want to get to a years time and find out I have to apply again and go back to the bottom of the list. take care all.

    No harm in chasing it up, at least ask the current waiting period.

    I'm in the North West and was diagnosed in December after approximately 12 months waiting period
