I know everyone here has so much stuff to deal with but , just , aaaaargh....
Having got a ASC diagnosis in June I had resigned myself to expect no help or support from the NHS
"significantly beyond the diagnostic threshold"... "stereotypical of HFA difficulties" ... etc etc
Didn't hear a thing from GP and just trying to process on my own ... I accepted they were just living down to my expectations. And that just fits in perfectly with the whole 'not being well enough to ask for help' paradigm.
I've been desperate* for some zopiclone/something to help with the perennial sleep disaster for a couple of weeks and finally managed to make an appointment... of course, a further week later, they phoned first thing in the morning (whilst I was busy having a nightmare / night terror) rather than in the afternoon like they arranged ... when I might have had my head together...
So I was caught a bit off guard when the GP says hey hadn't received any report or anything about Autism... so I'm back to begging for help, despite having to pay for for it twice... and aaargh
And that was it - I've had no energy for anything or anybody for the rest of the day - and now I won't be thinking about a single thing aside from that until my calendar entry for next week for chasing these people up
If you've read this far then, thanks, big time... there is literally no-one else to tell...
