Have you had a good experience at your local GP's surgery, dentist or hairdresser that you would be happy to share?

Have you had a good experience at your local GP’s surgery, dentist or with a hairdresser that you would be happy to share? We are looking for examples of where these services have made small changes which have made a big difference to an autistic person, for our It’s How You Show Up campaign. We’d love to hear what they did to make the experience better for you in the comments below, by Tuesday 8 July, so we can share with our social media audience. We do not need the names of specific people, businesses, or surgeries Point down tone3

  • I was diagnosed with Autism at the beginning of April and once my report had been sent the GP I got a call from the receptionist to book a telephone call with the GP regarding the clinical letter they had received. He had a chat with me about the diagnosis and offered to refer me to the talking therapies service. I know how busy GP surgeries are so I was surprised to be contacted and it made a difference to know that they care and acknowledge that my diagnosis is significant.

    Crickey - my GP has done nothing in 5 months, so not holding my breath.  I've been waiting a few months to have a chat to Talking Therapies - but I self-referred.  Let us know how you get on with Talking Therapies, once you get a slot, I've been waiting months
