I’ve just been put on referral list for autism, my gp said it could take about 2 years to even be seen. Does anyone have any helping tips or advice to help myself and my partner(to help me) get through this process with difficult times while I’m waiting
2 years? Oh my gosh I have just been referred but didn’t ask the waiting list. I would read up about Autism especially in Woman and note down what applies to you. Think of what you think would be helpful and then talk it through with your partner. Do you have a psychiatrist at all? If so you could as for a referral for some autism based therapy whilst waiting for a diagnosis. 2 years is a long time but I have found reading about it and identifying my triggers and needs have opened discussion between me and those around me and has helped me so much :)
No only have a specialist who helps me in the emotional and difficulties service until the 15th of may
