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

  • Yeah, it varies wildly by where you are. I struck so lucky - the adult autism unit in my area only opened in September, so there is no waiting list and I went from GP referral to diagnosis in a couple of months. However, my daughter (through CAMHS) is a year into waiting and still no word. Don't give up, they'll get to you!
