NHS refuse to assess me

Hi all,

I’ve known for years that I am autistic, possibly with adhd as well. I received a letter from the local team yesterday basically saying that because I speak too well, i don’t have ritualistic behaviours (I don’t in public thanks mum.) and I don’t have in depth interests and show too much emotion that they won’t assess me. 
Every test I’ve done alongside my doctor has shown a need for it, is there any way to appeal or even get back on the waiting list? 
They’ve based their decision on a 30 minute appointment where I was shoving everything down so hard out of habit and find it difficult to talk about the issues I have because they were always disregarded when I was younger.

tThey don’t see the meltdowns, they don’t see me struggling with conversation because people get annoyed when I can’t talk about anything but my interests because it’s all I think about, how I shut down when I get too stressed. 

i think I just needed to get this off my chest really. I’m fed up of being dismissed because I don’t act the way they want me to when I’m in public. That I had to learn to hide it because I’d get in trouble if I didn’t. I’m struggling big time right now and I just want to know if I’m being a baby over it.

  • i think the nhs is just refusing everyone by default now as they are too busy striking all the time instead of doing their jobs, and their striking has caused a huge backlog and people dying in the hospital coridoors....

    i think its time we banned their ability to strike right? .... i mean if they refuse to save dying people and neglect the publics health, they refuse blank out to diagnose you, why should they be paid anything at all let alone strike for even more pay for doing nothing? 

  • Mate. if you ban doctors from striking, they will just quit en masse and go to work somewhere else. Do not forget that an UK trained MD can find a better job almost everywhere in the world. We had the same problem in my country. Now, almost every doctor working in the public sector is either a total moron or just too old to expatriate. 

  • let them quit.... their hearts are clearly not in the right place for the job... if they want to chase money, if they was in it for money and not for helping people, then never mind letting them quit, just fire them instead and tell them to buy a lottery ticket, or tell them to go to america where the doctor wages are high because its a private system and thats what they based their expectations of wages on...

    they need to get what they want correct... if they want high wages like american doctors, then they need a private system like america... if they are striking to have american wages then their strikes are demanding us to be forced to a private system. what i see is the general public are too stupid to realise that these strikes they are doing are essentially strikes to change the nhs to a private system so they can be paid more... thats what it is... the general public support them thinking its the nhs and nothing more of it... they dont think... the public is dumb... these strikes for doctors to be paid as much as american doctors are essentially strikes that is demanding we make the nhs into a private healthcare system.. that is the end result of the strikes..

  • no, i said the nhs strikers are striking for privatisation.... you support strikers... you support privatisation... simple?

    and america has things similar to the nhs... it has medicaid which is essentially the same..... then the dems tried to make obama care and claimed that was gonnas be their nhs.... but obama care actually caused a effect that rose private medical insurance as then everyone paying private also had to pick up the bill for poorer people covered under obama care so it caused private insurance to skyrocket... from my american friend who told me and complained about his insurance going up due to obama care.

  • Seriously?

    OK, I am going to spell the concept at a fifth grade level.

    Private insurance cheap now, because NHS. They have to keep prices down, otherwise nobody will buy insurance.

    When NHS no more, only private insurance.

    Private will raise price to American level.

    You will be able to afford only the lowest tier insurance, and those insurance cover almost nothing.

    Try check American health insurance. Expensive. Very expensive. Cheap insurance cover nothing.

    Me no socialist. Me everything but socialist. Me only able to do some basic accounting. You not.

    Sorry, cannot spell it any simpler.

    The funniest thing is that you will vote for the NHS privatization, then you will be the one crying because you cannot afford insulin with a minimum wage. Look up insulin prices in the US.

  • medical insurance is around £80 a month for me, i got quoted already... national insurance takes £100 every 4 weeks from my pay slips.... which is cheaper? ... im not good with numbers but i dunno i think your falling for propaganda yourself looking at the numbers i see....

    your socialist ideas are causing people who need nhs help to be dying and neglected and suffering painfully in coridoors, they need to be seen.... they need to be helped....  this nonsense with the nhs needs to stop, it needs to be depoliticised and every single labour guy pulling the strings inside it needs to be jailed and held accountable for mass murder.

  • i can.... private insurance is actually cheaper than national insurance contributions.... so yeah, how does that work? the nhs is built on lies

    This. Is. Simply. Not. True.Tory propaganda, trying to drive poor fools like you to accept NHS privatization. And you swallowed it all, line, hook and sinker. 
    At least, I will be able to pay for it. You will end up like those Americans having to choose between paying rent and medical insurance payments. Have fun.

    america health system is very fast and you get seen to right away and wherever you are

    Tory propaganda again. I worked with several Americans. The first cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical insurance bills. How many people in UK have been bankrupted by medical insurance? Zero. 

    I had surgery in UK. I had to wait for it, but the final bill was zero. In the US, I would have been saddled with lifetime debts. But I do not expect you to understand a single word of it. Pray to never have any serious medical issue. You will never be able to afford any decent insurance with your minimum wage job.

  • i can.... private insurance is actually cheaper than national insurance contributions.... so yeah, how does that work? the nhs is built on lies...

    but like i said its the nhs workers who are striking that want it privatised... do you not understand that? 

    they strike because they want to be paid this wage that they heard growing up that doctors get paid so much... but that was based ob american culture and their health system which does pay them alot but thats due to being private... these nhs workers striking are striking for our system to become that, for it to be private.. so they can get more money... they dont care about you or the nhs system lol they care about money... their strikes are with intent to make it private... and the stupid people supporting that dont understand it so i say let the nhs strikers get what they want, let it be private... thats what they want and the silly public support it without thinking because they support anything nhs.... so it has majority support even though the public is stupid, let the public get what they want, let them see the strikes are for privatisation.... let them see then if they love their nhs strikers when they realise the nhs strikers have forced it to become private...

    and by the way we have no doctors now as they refuse to see you as they dont wanna do their jobs and are too busy striking... they are purposely stalling too as they are paid and run the same way unions are and so labour has control of them and they are sabotaging the nhs for labours political agenda so they can use it for politics and play the blame game. its time political parties were removed from that institutions, that will fix the issue and make them do their job.

    tldr ...strikes = privatisation
    nhs workers WANT... they WANT it to be privatised, that is the goal of their strikes... the general public virtue signalling for them doing this are ignorant and stupid. but either way let the stupid get the consequences, let the nhs workers get their privatisation they want. let them even get a labour government in charge and start doing their jobs again and drop the act they are putting on for politics....  let everything happen that would happen and  let it happen quick so we can get to the end of this pathetic saga and get things working again regardless of the end state. it cant get any worse than its current state. in its current state you dont get help, you get left to die...

    now lets evaluate that


    you say private health care of america is bad and they leave you to die? ... but this is a lie... america health system is very fast and you get seen to right away and wherever you are they managed to get to you and get you to hospital faster than any other country despite the much larger size of america and larger distancem you are then seen to right away and helped right away...

    now lets look at the nhs... you are waiting suffering, the ambulances seem ok but yet still slow compared to america if you consider the small size and distance of our country.... but the ambulances are probably the best part of the nhs... then you get to a nhs hospital and it falls apart... you get ignored andleft suffering without being allowed to have oxygen or pain relief or anything you need, you are left to die and not only to die but to suffer in agony and horror while you die slowly neglected in their coridoors....

    which is better? which one leaves you to die? .... americas doesnt... the nhs does.. this is real fact, unlike the fairy tail which flips it..

  • let them quit.... their hearts are clearly not in the right place for the job...

    Well, have fun with the NHS without doctors. Remember that I can afford private, you cannot.
