NHS say no to adult autism diagnosis

Valgal

Hello im Val

Ive been in and out of the mental health system since the age of 19, im now 50yrs young.

Any help given to me I get so far then its all pushed away.

I struggle to explain myself to them, the words never come.

, I fail to correct them so it all leads to a false image of me to them, they get angry they dont want to help anymore.

My sister wants me to be diagnosed for Autism, she sees a lot of autism signs, she knows a lot about it as her daughter is autistic.

NHS wont help, my Dr tells me to go private, i here it can cost thousands it just seems like a dead end for me.

Lockdown has in a way been a break from the pressures of life but yet im pushed into doing things that need done that cant be avoided.

Im mentally drained, lonely and lost.

I think I just want to be heard and understood just once and accepted for who i am.

  • Do you have other diagnoses? Mental illness? Learning difficulties?

    All they say is that I have High Anxiety,  I need help in finding the right help,  like i said I fail to communicate and get my feeling and answers across its like a mental block every time, they get angry and tired of me it never ends good at all. I just wish there was someone who understands me like my sister my mum they get it they know what I want to say when I struggle to finish a sentence.  I cant say thank you enough, im a difficult person and I dont always understand.  My gp read my life story I really thought it would have got me somewhere but it hasnt.
