Waiting list

Undiagnosed32

Hey. Thanks to those who have previously give me advice. I done a self referral and been told today that the triage have accepted it so i am now on the waiting list - probably 1-2years waiting time.  I've read some posts talking about an initial appointment - is this done after the triage step? 

I went quite in dept on the form,  mentioning some things i had kept to myself about behaviours and a lot of childhood history,  i was thinking i had just talked alot of nonsense and they would not accept at referral as my behaviours etc... arent similar to austism.   I'm guessing the behaviours etc.. are like autism if i'm going to be getting the full assessment? 

I hate waiting for tests/assessments so i'm going to have to try and take my mind of it!

  • I think having an initial appt varies from area to area. In my NHS trust at least, there is no initial appt, but a full, diagnostic assessment after the 2 year wait

    Thank you - i'm hoping i'll receive a letter which will explain the process but my email about being accepted just mentioned being on the waiting list so might just involve doing the full assessment - my form maybe had all the information needed.
