Don't meet the criteria

SJade

Hello people,

I'm feeling very lost at the moment and would really appreciate some advice or stories.

I've just had a letter saying that I don't meet the criteria for a diagnosis of autism.

After years of research on autism in adult women and reading and  listening their experiences, I finally thought I had an answer as to why I feel and think the way I do as I experience the same things.  

I iust don't know where I go from here.

  • I am in the same boat. I will also make a post about this. It seems to be that many people fall through the cracks, by masking too much [just what I did]. Especially women, who are hard to diagnose. We need to find out why the NHS is so rigid and has such a weird way of diagnosing adult females.
