What Mental health support services are available in UK?

MartinRiggs

Hi,

I am having serious problems accesing mental health services as they all want nothing to do with you once you are diagnosed with autism.

What NHS mental health services are available / accessible to adults in the UK after they have been diagnosed with autism. Do not say Talking Therapies. They are a useless waste of time.

When you get diagnosed with Autism it just seems like the NHS mental health services completely washes their hands with you and wants nothing to do with you to help.

Does anyone currently see the community mental health teams for autism help. If so how did you manage it?

  • No, ASC falls between the cracks of mental health and educational needs, there are some local groups who offer support, but they're not everywhere and are of varying quality, mostly seeming to help you get the right benefits.

    What help do you feel you need that the mental health team could offer?
