First Doctors Appointment for ASD diagnosis - what should I expect?

MarcoPolo

I have decided to get a formal diagnosis for ASD and so I have made a doctors appointment.

I'm anxious about what I will be asked and if my issues will be brushed off as nothing so I'm hoping the community here can help.

What should I expect to be asked in my first appointment with the Doctor? I know it is just to get a referral but I really need this to work as life isn't easy.

Thank you

  • I took a copy of the AQ test I did online and as I was already struggling that was considered enough to refer. Then I was sent more things from psychological services to fill out and had an appointment within 28 days where I was asked lots of questions. It's  a good idea to have things written down as well.
