autism diagnosis report

NAS78944

i just received my autism report,  i had already been given an autism diagnosis from them a week after the assessment.  the report is an uncomfortable read and really confusing.  there are a couple of things that they state i said which i didnt and it mentions some mental health diagnosis i have that i have never been told about before,  its all a bit odd.  i do have some mental health diagnosis that i know about and are always listed on a letter i recieve after ive had a psychiatrist appointment.  but the mental health diagnosis on this report i know nothing about.  would you just ignore it as i been given an autism diagnosis and leave it at that, or would you contact them to question it.  thanks.

  • I was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder and social phobia at my autism assessment. Perhaps you received additional diagnoses as a result of your autism assessment?

  • Mine was sent to me to comment on before being finalised.

    Definitely query anything you disagree with or don't understand. Mistakes can be made, they are human, and a misunderstanding is possible.

    They may have access to your medical records so may have something you are not aware of. 

    They should be open to comments if made in a timely manner. So don't sit on it for months wondering.

  • I would definitely contact them with questions if you don't understand anything or need to query, they should make sure your understand it. 

    (Mine they forgot to attach a section, which caused a lot of confusion for me, plus they had noted a few things slightly incorrectly, which they sorted when I queried)
