Feedback Appointment

Geeky Gothic Guy

Hello, I have finally got an appointment for the feedback of my assessment which is in 4 weeks time. 

Ihave asked if I can have a "yes or a no" before hand, but have been told they are unable to give an outcome prior to the appointment which is most frustrating.

Anyhow, I was just wondering if this is normal?

I'm trying to read between the lines to see if not being told is basically them saying I'm not, or if it's because they want to tell me I am but in more detail as to why. If that makes sense?

Has anybody "not" been told prior the appointment and then get told they are autustic? I just want to find out one way or the other and it's so frustrating. Thanks. 

  • My assessment was 13th Dec, I got an email late on 23rd Dec whilst travelling for Christmas, inviting me to the follow up on the 5th Jan.  So I didn't find out til the 5th Jan that I was diagnosed autistic.  In the intervening time I tried to figure out what I was going to do as I was convincing myself they would say I wasn't, so preparing for what that might mean.  So yes it's a further period of frustration/anxiety and not knowing.  The good thing once I had the diagnosis was that for me, the report did come quickly afterwards and I had it by the next morning.

  • Hi - I am with you on this one! I had my first assessment in February and they have just (yesterday) sent the full diagnosis report. However I did give them a big prod a few weeks back, because the wait for an answer was so stressful. I knew they'd done it and I just needed a yes/no so I could get some sleep! Not fair to leave you in the dark -   I do hope you get the resolution you need soon.

    Sounds like a good plan. It's a very long wait, so fingerscrossed they have a cancellation xx

    Thankyou for your reply. And thankyouSlight smileI know, the wait times are awful. I had my assesment back in February, its just the thought of another 4 weeks of not knowing is driving me insane. They did put in the email that they understand how much anxiety the wait is having on me and thanked Me for my patience. I might try and see if any cancellation comes up that they can fit me in sooner. 

  • Hiya,

    That sounds really frustrating to know they have made a decision but to have to wait 4 weeks to find out. 

    They refused to tell me over the phone however I had an appointment 3 days after so didn't have to wait long. 4 weeks in unbelievable. Any chance you can contact them and explain how you feel about waiting 4 weeks?

    Alisha xx
