More specifically I have a meeting with the autism specialist on the disability team. I am not diagnosed yet, I have had a triage appointment but since then they have just postponed and postponed my final assessment and it's now probable it won't happen pre 2022. In the meantime I was referred to nearly every NHS and charity based mental health organisation but all but one rejected the referral because my issues are 'too acute' and they 'don't manage that level of risk' and the one that didn't rejected it because they felt that my issues matched my "possible autism spectrum condition" and therefore it wasn't in their remit to deal with. So on that front I am in complete limbo at the moment and have been discharged back to my GP who has said she doesn't have anyone left to send me to and to come back if it gets significantly worse.
Throughout this I have endeavoured to stay in contact with my future universities disability team and keep them up to date, I will be leaving for the Uni on the 27th of September and the university have booked a meeting (online) for Wednesday. I'm very unsure of what to ask for or talk about in terms of possible accommodations. The uni has been very reluctant to give any suggestions or limitations or fundamentally any information or commitment at all via email, which while I understand is extremely frustrating.
Does anyone have experience dealing with university disability teams and autism? What type of things are reasonable to ask for? Anything you or someone you know found particularly helpful? Any suggestions or help would be gratefully appreciated.
