Diagnosed At Last!

Alan Ralph

I had my autism assessment done online this morning via video link, and the psychiatrist who saw me said he's satisfied that I'm on the spectrum. I've now received a copy of the letter that'll be sent to my GP confirming this. This is a huge weight off my mind! It took three years to get to this point from my first bringing it up with my GP (thanks to Covid-19) but I'm glad this is over and I can start moving forward.

  • Congratulations! I agree it’s a huge relief to finally know who you are! 3 years is ages to wait.

    Good luck on your autistic discovery journey and take time to process this new knowledge and autistic identity.
