Global development delay, 24yrs female

Strawberry 97

I’m a 24 yr old female and the past year and a bit my GP suggested that I may have autism. I had the assessments the last couple months and today we found out the answer. They say I have autistic traits and Global Development Delay which I got diagnosed with as a child. I also have other issues such as mental health and visual impairment etc. 
they say I have traits of autism but not fully autistic as my traits are from the GDD and I don’t have autism.

has anyone had any issue like this?

We believe I have autism as it makes sense for me and now I feel like we’re back to square one and I’m just being parmed off cos I have the GDD diagnosis as a child and there blaming that 

there also saying cos I can communicate and know social cues it isn’t autism and the test I done I got them all right which they asked me stuff and I had answer if someone done something wrong and how the person felt etc

  • Hi, i have something similar, went through assessment late last year and they came back and said I only had 2 out of the 3 traits strong enough to be classed as Autistic so the official diagnosis is not.  I identify with loads of what is said on here and score as Autistic in (admittedly not scientific) online tests so I identify as such although I don't need any adjustments or help really, it is just good to know that my social issues have some meaning to them and I am working out how to use this info going forward.
