What did you do to start the process? Or did a doctor bring it up first?

What process did you go through? How long did it take?

did you find it difficult getting assessed?

Thanks.

  • Hi Brian.

    I went to my GP's about a bad back and snook it into to the conversation. The GP basically give me mind's phone number and said my back was fine. 

    After 3-4 of chronic back pain I got myself a new GP who sorted refferred me to get my back sorted. About a year later I went too the new GP and brought up autism again, and I took my girlfriend and a list of my reasoning. The GP then refferred my to my local mental health services to see a clinitian.

    The Clinician, asked the same questions as the GP. They then refferred my to an "Autism Specialist" whom is a clinical Physchologist. I am waiting for an appointment with the specialist.

    If your GP won't support you, you need a new GP. You need to tell them you need to see a "Clinical Physchologist".

    PS sorry for spellings
