  • Hi Mlle Lermontova - didn't know "eccentric" was a recognised mental health condition. You should ask them to define the official symptoms. Good luck with the rest of the process.

    I've had my first appointment at "Living Well Hub" (yuck!), where an Australian woman said she was just checking that I didn't have anything else. She seemed happy that it was ASD and has referred me to the clinic at Maudsley - another 2+ months to wait apparently.

    During the appointment, she said that the UK was about 10 years behind Australia in terms of diagnosis and support for ASD. She previously worked in a London borough where they didn't have anyone involved in ASD diagnosis, so Lambeth is obviously a step up for her.
