Not happy report received

Hi everyone

i received my report today from my asd assessment and I’m not happy, it’s only 5 pages one of which gives links to websites for info on autism, there is no mention of my being vulnerable, not liking being around people and my sensory issues, instead it gives my positive aspects that I was able to communicate verbally very good, I didn’t think so personally I just gave 1 word answers to their questions

i was looking forward to this report as I thought I might get some support I desperately need

  • Thanks for the reply, the report was emailed to me and I’ve deleted it

  • The report is not always particularly long - but you should be able to recognise yourself within it.  It is not unusual for the report to mention your strengths as well as your challenges.  It might be worth leaving it a few days and then reading it again to see if you still feel the same way about it as you did the first time you read it.  Maybe then, if there is someone you trust in the real World - you could have a conversation with them about how you are feeling about everything.

  • Thanks for the replies

    feeling very angry don’t know how I’m going to sleep

    after the assessment I told the assessor how when I ask for support I’m not getting any, so was told the report would be 9 pages long and detail where I need help so when my gp receives the report I can get the support needed, however no such recommendations are in the report, just websites for me to look at that gives info on autism, can’t even go back to the assessor as I’ve been discharged

    the assessor said to go to my gp to be referred for a learning disability assessment, when I went to my gp they done a dementia test, the assessor said she’ll detail in the report the test that needs to be done, although it isnt

  • Mine was 2.5 pages long ... or should that be short?
