Assessment call with Psychiatry UK tomorrow

BeckyThump

I've got my assessment video call tomorrow morning, I feel sick and so anxious I can't do anything or eat. I need to know as the uncertainty is horrible but equally I don't know how I feel about an answer either way.

Does anyone have any experience they can share of this? Or what to expect? Maybe being more prepared will help.

  • So, had the call this morning, I meet all the criteria so they're issuing a report with a diagnosis of autism, level 1 since I have relatively low support needs.

    The call cut out at one point which I didn't cope well with but highlighted my inability to deal with issues well, and brought out a new characteristic of that, in that I started hitting myself which is not something I've done before, or at least to that extent, but then I'm not that often as worked up as I was this morning.

    So now I need to process it all, nothing has changed but everything has changed.

  • nope, no experience as ive been waiting like 4 years and have another 4 years to wait so when im ever seen to i wont care anymore and id go in mad at them instead of anxious and tell them i dont want their help anymore and that they are all rubbish and should be fired or get a new job lol
