Asking for diagnosis tomorrow!

I'm telling my GP doctor that I think I'm autistic and going to ask her to refer me to get diagnosed tomorrow :0

I'm really nervous, I'm pretty bad at explaining my feelings (and speaking in general). Any advice/reassurance? I'd love to just show her the document I've written but my doctors surgery is only doing phone appointments, so I need to able to tell her in words!

  • I'm glad it went well. Personally I found the initial conversation with the GP the hardest part so far. I've now been through the initial assessment process and although it was very personal to answer so many questions about myself, it was the saying "I think I might be autistic" aloud to the GP which was daunting.
