Undiagnosed

Hi I’ve only just made an account on here. So I have believed that I’m autistic for about 4 years now. When I was 19 I went to my gp to try start the process of getting an assessment but I was pretty much told that because I was 19 she wouldn’t refer me because I must’ve found coping mechanisms but also that it’s anxiety/eating disorder. Since then I’ve been debating going back and speaking to someone else as I really need extra support if I’m going to make it through college. Has anyone got any advice about getting a diagnosis/ know if I can get support without being diagnosed? Thank you if you read this I’m very nervous to post on here :)

    If you need support by getting a diagnosis then I would try to get a referral. If they say no again, could you possibly go private? Or you could try to find resources that are available even with self diagnosis.

    Sorry this isnt very helpful.
