My name is Catriona. I was diagnosed with Autism via the Lorna Wing Centre this month. My diagnosis was a smooth process and I'm glad I didn't use the NHS in the end. I started out with them but the waiting was horrible and they didn't keep me posted, when I called up asking how long the woman on the phone got a bit annoyed so I decided to go with the Lorna Wing Centre. No complaints with them. There was a wait, yes, but they kept me informed and with the assessment they were patient, supportive and more than understanding with me.
I'm glad to finally know who I am for the first time in my life. It's a wonderful feeling and I don't think I'll ever forget it. It was suggested I join an online community so I thought I would give this one a try and see how it goes.
Nice to meet you Catriona. I'm also newly diagnosed, and completely agree with the feeling being wonderful!
Thank you, Becky and congratulations on your own diagnosis. I'm happy for you and that you felt the same I did. I wasn't sure if my feelings were natural or not.
