Got my GP appointment tomorrow to ask for an Autism referral.

I've got my GP appointment tomorrow to ask for an Autism referral. It's not my normal GP but i suppose thats a good thing he won't have any preconceived ideas about me?
I'm going prepared. I've done the AQ50 (score 42) and the AQ10 (score 9-10, as I was using and bring about an answer so tried both ha ha)
I prepared extensive notes (got really focused on it and the research) which I've emailed to the practice last week. and I'll be taking all this along with me.

Any insights as to what happened at your GP appointments to ask for a referraleg what did they ask you etc. Just to slightly decrease my anxiety

  • I was referred to an outsourced professional back in January at my GP visit. I eventually heard back from them at the beginning of November and a telephone appointment was set up for my husband to speak to one of the counsellors and on the same day, I had a Zoom appointment with another counsellor. On Monday I received my positive diagnosis - yeah. Feel so much better now so I wish you well as you progress on your journey.
