Please can you advise if autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, fibromyalgia and epilepsy is under the category of severe underlying health issues. I am an autistic adult with a learning disability fibromyalgia as well as depression, anxiety, OCD, and epilepsy. I also live on my own.
The list of conditions that would class someone as extremely vulnerable can be found here:
www.gov.uk/.../guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19
Sorry to say, it doesn't look like any of the conditions you mention is listed there.
Thank you all your helpful replies. I feel that autism seems to be always overlooked. I've contacted gov uk using the contact form but were not able to help me.
