Hi all I'm on list for an assessment but am starting to worry. I struggle to speak words just don't come out. Any appointments I have I write down responses and am unable to talk on telephone. Will the autism assessment people understand this.
Hi,
Do you mean that you are at the GP stage - having to convince the GP to put you forward to get assessed? Or do you mean you have got past that stage and are worried about your actual assessment?
If you are at the actual assessment stage - I am confident in saying that they will understand this, and how you describe yourself here will likely go in your favour (I am assuming you want to be recognized as autistic?)
In my experience they tend to be very kind and understanding and will not mind you writing things down
Good luck!
