Feeling lost..

Did you receive something in writing ?

Don't worry. Everyone can misunderstand things.

Nothing is wasted. Don't do the cognitive distortions thing.

You have at least thought about what you would say in an assesment so you are better prepared. You have more experience than before. You have learned new things.

What happened in your therapy, if you are able to say? Did you not get something from it?

It was CBT I had it for a few months but couldn't really take it in found it to much an I felt no different from whrn I started it, anyways they've basically told me they can't do much more, so I guess I am really alone now in all this.

Do you know if you in the queue for an assessment?

If you don't know, then please ask your GP or somone. You need to be clear. Don't be afraid to ask. It is a reasonable question.

Really pleased you have found people here supportive. 

We don't always get right first time - but we are usually up for another go at problem solving ...our way (Autism and perseverance should be good friends).

What you might not know yet is;

- loads of us here have experienced a right rare old trampling upon, in our respective times, by a system we continue to advocate to improve (we are determined not to let the system off lightly),

- many of us had to take a pause from a tough pummeling (then we work around to dusting ourselves off again ...when we are ready), and

- many of us here have made older bones before we received our Autism diagnosis (if that is what we decided we wished to pursue).

The communication nonsense you suffered today is not your fault.  It takes two sides to communicate - so you had help falling down that cavern.

Speaking as someone else with a good Welsh-heritage mane (my hair definitely knows its mind!) - shake out that mane, for all to see, and let them beware - and we'll then see what you would like to tackle next (...only when you feel ready - as you drive your pace and you control your appetite for the next challenge to conquer).

I know everyone has been lovely an supportive I do appreciate all the kind words an advice.

You are never a nuisance here - you are welcome here. 

You have potential access to a lot of support, resources and knowledge here.

You absolutely do not need an Autism assessment to be a fully qualified member of our community here.

You’re definitely not being a nuisance, friend. It’s a harsh fact of life that the medical system is not designed to be easily navigated. Please don’t give up—nothing you do relating to your health and wellbeing is a failure. It’s just earnest inquiry
