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?
My GP said it could be years if I waited for the NHS. She said the wait time before C-19 was "a bit stupid" and she dreaded to think what it is now.
I’m very close to asking my GP to use RTC for autism as well as adhd. The lack of diagnosis means every meltdown is still being treated as if I have BPD and this is causing me massive problems as they refuse to acknowledge I may have autism instead getting confused that I don’t understand things.
