Diagnosis

Hi, I'm new here, and looking to gain insight into whether I am autistic or not.

A friend has recently been diagnosed and is convinced that I also fit the picture and so I asked my GP for a referral for diagnosis. The GP said he would look into it and then wrote to me asking me to give good reason for a referral.

This has completely stumped me. I'm not sure I can say clearly why I think I may be, except for my high online score.

I wonder if anyone here would be happy to talk about their experiences with diagnosis, or anything else which may help with my letter which fills me with anxiety..... and so, just doesn't get done.

  • above is the plan I followed

    here are additional notes

    Make a list of reasons why u think u are autistic.

    include relatives in your family who are autistic or adhd or called weird/different

    and a list of occasions when u have been called weird, autistic, different

    the list should be electronic ie so you can email it to anyone who wants it.
