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.
