So I finally have my assessment in front of me - ASD with social anxiety
Main highlight of report -
Unable to cope and manage with change or new situations with negative experiences and interactions causing general anxiety - anxiety caused by OCD thoughts and rigidity of thinking
Lacks intuitive social skills and reciprocity and manages this cognitively and intellectually which makes **** tired through effort
Impairment in non-verbal communication
Restricted interests that are abnormal in their intensity
Impairments in reciprocity and modifying behaviour to take into account situations and people - anxiety provoking
Black and white thinking may increase feelings of hopelessness at times of low mood
These all fall under level 1 support
Question is do I wait for my care assessment or do I apply for PIP now?
I'm not good with form filling so any help would be appreciated
