Never received diagnosis letter

NAS93974

Hello 

sorry if I am posting this in the wrong area i am new here. 

I was diagnosed with autism level 1 a few years ago. However the company never sent me or the doctors a letter so there is no formal diagnosis. 

it was with lancashire autism services/btss.org. 

I emailed a lot over the years as the phone line had been cut off. 

The doctors cannot help or advise what to do. the reason I have left it so long is because I have never needed the document however I am starting university in September and they have asked if I have it.

I am not sure if I will need to go through another diagnosis to obtain this. 

Just wondered if anyone else has had this happen or if anyone has any tips 

thanks

    It may be worth contacting https://www.autismlancs.org in case they have taken over the work from the other organisation.

    Another option could be to ask your GP if the diagnosis is on file with them - it may have been registered with the NHS (bit of a long shot though).

    Lastly if you can remember who took you through the assessment then find their contact details and look them up to ask if they have a record of your diagnosis or can advise who to chase for the records.

    If none of this works out then you probably need to be re-diagnosed and the only way to get this done quickly is privately.
