Hello all
i have just joined the forum and could do with some advice please
i am a 49 year old male who is trying to get an assessment for autism
the first referral from my gp around November 2021 was refused, I was then put on a waiting list to speak to a psychologist about my mental health, I had to wait over a year and a half for Ann appt to be given a trainee that discharged me as we weren’t getting any where, but she did do a referral for another asd assessment, this was in May this year.
as I never heard anything I telephoned the autism centre where the referral was made and was told the referral has been made but it will take some time to be triaged to see if I can get on the waiting list and if I do make it to the waiting list it will be a 2-3 year wait for an assessment
I asked both my gp and psychologist for an O/C as I find it difficult to live in my current accommodation but the I/C refused as I have no mobility issues
i am living in private accommodation and the tenancy is a rolling contract that feels me with fear as I have no stability, the council refuse me to join social housing register as I am not homeless I am self harming as I live with alcoholic and junkies who make so much noise at night
sorry about the long post I just don’t know where to turn or what to do
