Hi,
I am a 39 year old female who was diagnosed with Autism back in June 2025. My GP recently referred me to a social worker but I unfortunately I got rejected. I was told that I am Autistic but not disabled.
Has this ever happen to anybody before?

I agree with this, when I was diagnosed the report said this: "Under the Equality Act 2010, Autism is recognised as a disability. This means you have a legal right to request reasonable adjustments in the workplace, in education settings, and when accessing public services (including healthcare)... You do not need to consider yourself “disabled” to be eligible — your diagnosis itself entitles you to support.", which I think says pretty much the same thing.
