Hi!

Hi - I have recently just got on the waiting list for an autism assessment in Scotland, and am hoping that I'll be able to chat to people here while I wait for my appointment. Does anyone have any advice for what to do while they wait to be assessed - waiting has never been my strength! I'm currently looking at about a year...

I'm a 26 year old female, and it was only in the last year that the psychologist  I was seeing for anxiety mentioned that she thought I could be on the spectrum. All I can say is it makes so much sense to me, and I've definitely found myself deep diving into the subject of autism. Slight smile

    Hi! Welcome to the forum Slight smile:) I'm 25 and I've been on the waiting list for just over a year now. 

    I've also been deep diving into autism. One thing that's helped while waiting for my assessment is learning about coping strategies for things like sensory issues. Purple Ella does some amazing YouTube videos that have really helped me understand myself better and feel less alone.

    Hope you don't have to wait too long for your appointment.

    Thanks - I have tried to find as many sources as I can that can help me, but I will keep looking! And hope you don't have long to wait too! X
