Oh dear….what happens if not diagnosed?

I haven’t got any answers but I just wanted to say that I feel the same. I’ve only just asked to go on the waiting list so according to my psychologist, I could be waiting for 3 years for the assessment.

I can’t imagine waiting that long and being told no but in the meantime I will lurk in these forums and see if I can glean some useful techniques and insights into why my mind causes me so many issues.

There is lots of support whether you have a diagnosis or not it seems (I hope I’m right).

I'm really not sure if you're joking. If that is your genuine belief then I'm sorry to break it to you but in many areas there is no support available for autistic adults, with or without a diagnosis.

Yes this forum is the best place I've found. You may be lucky and have a community support group in your area.

I meant things like this forum and other community support. I don’t really expect anything from govt.
