Hello.

I had my ASD assessment this week, via Right to Choose and I officially meet the diagnostic criteria.

Thanks for all the support through the process. I can now carry on with life feeling validated and that I'm not broken.

  • Congrats on your diagnosis!

    If you don't mind me asking how long did it take to wait via RTC route for your assessment ?, as may suggest this to my daughter

    Hi. I am an adult on the adult pathway if that makes any difference. Just trying to work out the timings. My GP referred me in late October 2024 to Psychiatry UK. 

    Psychiatry UK contacted me mid November with forms to fill out. I procrastinated and submitted them about a month later, close to the deadline.

    In mid December I got a link from Psychiatry UK to book an assessment appointment (video appt on MS Teams) which was this week.

    My friend who lives in a different part of the country was referred to Psychiatry UK earlier than me and submitted their forms a while before me but is still waiting for an assessment in April.
