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.
Autism and disability in general is always overlooked. If its convienient for people not to deal with it, they won't.
Just a side note if i may!
Your thumbnail.....with the flapping cape/wings...
I had a flying dream last night....The first for likely 20yrs.....
Your profile image just made me think of it..
Ps....i have all of what you have...Except Epilepsy, fortunately....though my son has that, as well as Autism ,ocd, adhd etc..
Youre not wrong about Autism often being overlooked...
