Hi all,
I have a GP appointment on Monday morning to discuss and request a referral for assessment. I have looked up a lot of advice for this but thought I would ask on this to hear from people with lived experience. I have made a list of behaviours, difficulties and experiences etc that I think could be linked to Autism and back up my request for a referral.
However, I feel the list has gotten a bit messy and long and i'm worried things will just get lost in translation when I'm talking with my GP.
Does anyone have advice on the main things I might want to look at getting across that will be the most impactful in convincing my GP for a referral? I'm really anxious that I will be denied a referral and I will be left no further forward and feel even more lost.
Any advice about the whole process would be appreciated.
