After struggling with mental health issue, depression and anxiety for most of my life (I'm 50). I have only just found out that ASD? has been sitting on my doctors records since 2018. I'm trying to wrap my head around a lot of new information. The symptoms are all ringing really loud bells and past issues regarding relationships and sensory processing issues are starting to make a great deal of sense.
in my area, i am looking at 18 months for an assessment by the neurodevelopment team. How do i describe myself until then?
Also, am I entitled to any support? while there are areas of live I'm really good at, I struggle with day to day stuff.
I am currently losing my flat after 12 years and I am struggling trying to find somewhere to live or deal with anything to do with the situation.
In other words, HELP!
thank you so much! I managed to get a referral to a housing charity through adult social services. It's al very bewildering . Too much to process at once but I'm hanging on in there.
u can do it say to yourself everyday --- " I am handling everything just fine " ----- it is part of a positive thinking course which helps boost your thinking.
Thank you!
