barnet mental health trust no longer works with people with ASD

peterainbow

so after having to fight to get a proper assessment so that i could get targeted help, having got that barnet mental health trust have now chnaged it's rules and now no longer offers help to people on ASD

this seem like discrimination to me, i now have to go and get my GP to go and argue with the main NHStrust or something, so basically it won;t happen

i suffer from sever depression and anxiety and although my psychs help has been limited, he has at least made me feel that i'm not on my own, he told me today that he can no monger accept appointments to see me as i am ASD, he doesn't agree with this but this is what BMHT have told him...

surely this cannot be right, i now have nowhere to go...

  • I know Peter what you mean, life with ASD is hard enough without external environmental issues. Just remember your GP is ALWAYS your initial point of care, so go see the doc with support if you need it and explain the situation, it just seems to me that you have hit a dead end, through no fault of your own. Don't fight for, ask for help.

    " am currently off sick from work, due to the usual mixture of bullying/stress/depression and i now have nowhere to go, just drugs that don't work"..,

    that is very common with ASD., the only thing that works is time and familar ground each day, with a support strategy if any problems arise, you should have a key person to speak too,,, be it your GP, NAS, Social worker instead of stressing yourself out, over issues that you have no control over.(unfortunately), all you can do is step to the side and start again in the morning. Forgive the past, helps me, move forward.Smile
