Hi

Hi,

I'm Tallis and I'm 18 years old. I have recently been referred for autism by my GP after going to see them once I turned 18 at the advice of my school nurse because my parents, despite having the suggestion brought up many times throughout my childhood, felt seeking a diagnosis would give me an excuse to stop trying at things I found difficult. So I'm now on the waiting list for a triage appointment for BASS and I'm really not liking the uncertainty on how long anything is going to take or what it is going to involve but I feel extremely anxious about contacting anyone to ask them so I'm on here instead looking at other people's experiences to get an idea of how things work.

I really love orchid species, so if anyone wants to talk to me about orchids and their ecology and conservation I would be delighted to chat.
