Afternoon,
So, I was advised that I had some Autistic Traits by a psychiatrist approx 12 months ago, where he diagnosed PTSD - he recommended my GP to arrange for an assessment - of course with the pandemic - such assessments are being delayed, however due to being signed off work in July 2020, my work would prefer an definitive diagnosis as that would help them be able to help me.
I have been chasing up my GP for the past few months, as it feels like I am waiting for the assessment to help me move forward with my life, and also to see how such a diagnosis can help me live with that as well as my PTSD - triggered by childhood trauma.
I went to a school for children with Speech and Language impediments, so I suspect the Autism was missed at the time, but it has been exacerbated especially by the PTSD, Anxiety and Acute Depression.
As you can imagine, such a delay for the assessment is causing anxiety, which the third party provider stated their wish that it wouldn't when they sent me a letter approximately three months ago, stating that I was on their database.
It feels that I am waiting on other elements which are out of my control.
