Who is waiting for their assessment over here ? Would love to chat with those going through a similar experience.

Hi ! I am a female, 23, and waiting for my assessment. This waiting is a udge challenge for me and I just would love to feel less alone in this... particularly knowing if there are some people around my age going through this.

  • I've just been given a wait time of 30 months for my assessment having started the process about 6 months ago. I'm 38 and have always felt there was something different and having looked into autism I have so many of the traits. My biggest worry is that the assessment will show I'm not on the spectrum and it'll be a case of "well now what?" It's good to know I'm not alone and good luck to everyone else who is waiting.

    there are a range of diagnoses you could have. Just proceed onwards to see what the professionals think. The odds are you will be "On the spectrum".

    Have you any other relatives who have been suspected or diagnosed with autism or say ADHD ?

    Has anyone ever said "You are autistic" or "weird/different"
