Has anybody being told that you are Autistic but not disabled.

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 think it's because despite whatever rules are officially there, nobody really knows what to do with us, certainly not once we're adults, there's things we're brilliant at and things that go right over our heads, often at around the same time, it being a spectrum means there's no one set of symptoms, therefore no straight answers or set of procedures.
