Hi there.
I'm 19 years old, and me, my family, doctors, teachers etc have suspected that I am autistic for as long as I remember. I've been on the waiting list for an assessment for a year, and my local assessment centre have told me that the wait is likely to be another four years at least. My mental health is at a crisis point meaning that I cannot wait that long. I also cant go private as I dont have the means to, and I cant get a job because I have significant social impairments. I've seen a lot of people talk about being able to speed up the wait, but I'm thoroughly confused about if there is anything I can do. Waiting four years just isn't an option for me. If anyone has any experience or advice I would really really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading, I hope you have a nice day
