Very long wait for assessment.

Oscie

I have now been waiting for over 3 years for a CLASS clinic assessment. I was told before COVID 19 that I would be seen around Dec 20, but now due to the service being reduced, it will be longer. Is anyone else experiencing this situation? It is very stressful - I feel as if am am permanently in limbo waiting to know for sure. I worry that as GPs now commission, services, they are choosing physical health over mental health.

  • I was referred to my local ASD diagnostic service last June by my GP after an initial visit to him to discuss my possible Asperger's.  I was told at the end of last year that I had been put on the waiting list for an assessment, and that it would be around August 2020 before I'd be notified of a date.

    I started my 'journey' towards getting a diagnosis almost 2yrs ago and now with the COVID-19 crisis, I really have no idea when I'll actually get an assessment.  Unamused

  • I’m in exactly the same situation. I’m on CLASS Clinic waiting list and I’ve been waiting for an assessment since autumn 2017. Due to Covid19 they’ve suspended everything and nobody knows when they will start seeing people again. It’s depressing.
