Hi Everyone,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me/send me in the right direction to get help with this.
After years of thinking I’m Neurodivergent, I finally picked up the courage to ask my G.P. to refer me for an assessment.
The doctor said I had to submit information to a patient email address and it would be forwarded on. Autism waiting times for assessment are apparently nearly 3 years in Scotland. Anyone done private assessment ( if so, was it expensive and do you recommend it?)
The doctor drew me a diagram with Child, school, adult along with parents and emphasised how it impacts my function. I’m struggling to think how to word things and I’ve been procrastinating for weeks by putting it off. It honestly feels so overwhelming to start as I thought an assessment would just be someone talking to me about things and discussing my issues- but writing them down seems really difficult for some reason.
Someone recommended I just use bullet points to express things? I also don’t have any school reports (+ I’ve been out of school for years so no chance of getting them).
Thank you for reading this, hopefully someone can help me
