Referral

Samshine

Hi,

I'm 33 and I've had a referral from the GP to the Autistic Spectrum Disorder clinic. I was wondering what's next. My referral has been delayed because of COVID and the unknown is bothering me. I wondered if someone could share their experiences with me please, from GP the full diagnosis.

  • I was  called for an initial chat  to see if I should be taken forward to a full assessment. It took 2 years from referral by my GP to my Diagnosis ( under NHS ).    It was well worth the wait as I now can work on the issues I was having at work and at home with relationships with other ( humans ).

    Two years? Wow, that is longer than I thought it was going to be. Did you tell work / friends / etc you were going for the diagnosis or did you wait to get the formal diagnosis first?
