Hello,
I'm new here! I'm pending my appointment with the GP (on Monday) where they will consider whether or not I will be referred to SPARC for a full diagnosis. At first I felt eager because I'm facing the possibility of FINALLY getting help (I'm in my 20s), but now the realisation has set in and I'm terrified!
Does anyone have any experience of the initial steps from the adult diagnosis point of view, so I know what to prepare myself for? It will be a over-the-phone appointment, then referral to a digital appointment if they decide to pass me on to SPARC.
Thanks for reading :)
1. have a list of all the autism traits u have
2. add to the list of any relatives who are diagnosed or suspected of autism/ADHD/anxiety/depression or have been considered weird/different
3. add to the list, an occurrence when anyone ( especially mother ) who has said u are autistic/weird/different
Okay, thank you for the advice!
