Yeah I've not had a great track record with therapy, but I'm just desperate so keep trying
Oh wow, that's interesting
all therapy bounced of my autistic mind it was far too tough....... but I hope it works for u
also u can be diagnosed with both eg ASC + ADHD,,,,,,,,, and even Dyslexia
I meant as in therapy better adapted to autistic people. Ok, thanks flint
Ok thanks aidie, good to know. Yeah I've read people that have previously been diagnosed with ADHD have then been classified as autistic later.
Ok! Thanks, well look them up!
Hello, welcome to NAS
I'm not sure what you mean by autistic specific therapy? Do you mean therapy for autism? Or therapy that is better adapted to autistic people with mental health issues? If the first, I don't know; if the second, all I know is that from what I have read and my own experience with CBT, CBT doesn't seem to work well for many people with autism.
Hi,
as is the custom,
Welcome to this forum
it is common for people with depression and/or ADHD to then find out they are autistic
from the day my GP referred me i finally got my NHS diagnosis 2 years later ( Northern Ireland )
6 weeks is the fastest ! i have heard of in NHS but a new unit had opened just as that person was referred.
Any recent London NHS diagnosis people here ? please put your hand up
Hi Mark - I can't answer your questions as I went private and I've not tried any autism specific therapy - but I just wanted to say welcome. I know that the research charities MQ Mental Health and Autistica are working on some better therapies.
