Update in case it helps anyone. GP was more interested in my summary of why I think I have autism, what I'm struggling with, and why I want a diagnosis than my AQs, although the AQ10 has been scanned into my notes along with my written statement. Sounds like I'm getting a referral! Although he did warn it might take ages.

Amazing news! Sounds like a really positive appointment and like your GP really listened to you. When I was first referred, I was told there was an 18 month waiting list however I received my assessment within a couple of months. My friend who lives in a different area was also referred and was told it would be a 3 year wait, but she was also seen within a few months.
