i am indiana and i have just joined. im not diagnosed yet but im currently on the waiting list for assessments. Ive gotten the opinion of medical professionals and family members and they have said that i am probably, some say definitely, autistic. im 15
hi,
I am Alisha (16) and was diagnosed yesterday. if you don't mind me asking, what autistic traits do you show?
sensory issues, special interests, stimming, meltdowns, lack of social skills, taking things literally, difficulty talking, bad at eye contact, needing specific instructions, sensitive to rejection, and prob some other things but I cant think at the top of my head atm
Oh wow! that must be difficult. Do you know how long you will have to wait for the assessments to find out if you are autistic?
its okay!! its not that theyre not supportive its just theyre not giving the help i feel like i need, even after my mum emailing them, a supposed meeting and camhs i think? making a call
