General Information Following Receiving Diagnosis Report.

Hi All,

Just wondered, what happens once you receive the diagnosis report?

I notice on here a lot of mention of a follow up appointment?

The report has only stated areas I may benifit from at some point. There is no mention of any follow up appointment?

Is this something I need to look for myself or is it something that will automatically happen as part of a process?

I have been looking in to contacts for groups and zoom meetings with local trusts etc. I have made a zoom appointment to discuss about trying to meet people in a similar situation etc.

But I have not had any mention of any Formal follow up or anything, either by my GP or assessment Dr. or anyone? So Im just in a blank at the moment!

Thanks in advance.

Just a matter of months,

I think I mentioned it to my first GP, during a telephone appointment about a different medical situation. During that conversation, I was not comfortable about his manner overall in how he was speaking to me. So he in turn referred it to a mental theropy nurse. When she contacted me, I stated why I asked for a ASD referral, she then said, she was the wrong person, I needed the GP, to do that??

I was so uncomfortable about everything, I asked for a record of the conversation with The GP, which I eventually, had to go to the practice to hear! Any way, I asked to change my GP, which they did... Then on a visit to that new GP for a medical issue, I mentioned it and he got it all moving, so that was November I think.. Appointment and told on 16th March, I'm ASD Level 1... so here I am!!! Moving forward, slowly.. but Im happy....

Sorry for digressing!!!!!

Maybe with the NHS it's slightly different but I can't imagine that they would do anything like that.

How long did you have to wait for your assessment with the NHS? Just out of interest

Maybe I'm not sure though because I got a private diagnosis and I don't remember my assessor saying anything to me about a follow up chat or anything

Maybe in time? I see you were diagnosed 29th March, I think you said... I was diagnosed16th March! Maybe we are in the system? I suppose a lot has been going on for GP's with the way things are with covid.
