  • I am a newbie around here, but the recent press has actually genuinely made me revisit an adult diagnosis (I thought I was okay to just "know in my head" that I am somewhere on a spectrum of autism, but more and more, I realise that its affecting me and that there is help I could perhaps access that I don't know about). I am from the UK but currently working in EU, does anyone know if it is still possible to be assessed by the NHS?
