I am in my late 30s and female.
I have not been diagnosed with autism, but I scored quite high on a test the psychologist used on me. I think it might have been the AQ10 test. She was going to refer me for a thorough assessment but it's been two years and that has not happened yet. The psychiatrist is now trying to chase this. I have experienced psychosis so he's trying to see if it's linked to autism because I get high levels of anxiety. I have not read much about psychosis being linked to autism so I'm a bit sceptical.
I'm here to find out what to expect at the assessment.
I have tried to chase this and I will mention this to my consultant. Thank you. I might go private if it takes longer than 6 months. But I don't know the costs associated with this.
