It may not seem like a long time but I was referred to BASS for an ASD diagnosis in mid February of this year and got the processing paperwork and screening questionnaire in mid march. Its now been almost 8 months and I have heard nothing in regards to my first appointment. Anyone have any experience with the service and can tell me how long they waited?
I'm having my first triage appointment after about eight months of not hearing back -- turns out they sent the initial form to my uni's post office when I was in-between accommodation but I didn't hear back from them even after I got them to re-send the form via email.
It took a bit of badgering on my part to get this appointment. I had to email after about three months to check if they'd received my emailed form and then they eventually replied with a time and date for a triage appointment.
I couldn't make it due to classes so I emailed back with my available times and days to which they didn't respond until I emailed a second time. Finally I managed to get my appointment for this Tuesday.
Honestly, I'm not looking forward to the wait or the constant checking up I'll have to do if they decide to progress my diagnosis further. It's really quite ridiculous how badly most cases seem to be handled.
Oh, I’ve only just seen this reply. Could I ask how your triage appt went? I have mine in less than a week
