I really need an assessment

Hello, my mum introduced me to this site because I am waiting for an autism assessment at the moment. At the moment it seems really likely I do have autism, as I have displayed characteristics most my life.

The problem is, the NHS is really taking it's time. It has almost been a year and I only just got a letter, basically acknowledging the existence of me.

What do I do? Should I stay on this site? I have never been even decent at making friends, so maybe likeminded people will be better?

In the meantime, what are your favourite games?

  • Hi, welcome, I am only into my 3rd week of waiting since seeing my GP, that is bad enough, checking for mail each day only for nothing to arrive is very unsettling. I can only imagine how bad it is having to wait for over a year for a letter. 

    You should definitely stay on here, in my short time on here I have found the community to be very supportive and friendly. My wait is being eased by knowing others are going through similar things.
