Just got my Diagnostic Report

NinjaPanda85

Hey everyone,

Just got and read my diagnostic report, which showed I scored highly for Autism. The Autism diagnosis was not surprisinging to a large extent, but how highly i scored was if that makes sense.

Felt the report covered everything and no factual errors which was good. Still felt abit of a sad read to read my history and finally get confirmation in writing at 41. 

The report is going to my GP, but theres no recomendations on it beyond that. I think i was perhaps naively hoping for abit more direction post diagnosis.

Just feels abit weird to read a report saying "he really struggles" but then bye we have tested him job done no recommendations.

is this something others have experienced? Any general advice /thoughts appreciated as feeling bit lost/deflated.

Thanks

  • Hi , that pretty much was my experience at the tender age of 53. If your GP is like mine there will be absolute silence on that front.

    All local authorities are supposed to offer some sort of support, the one near me is called Daisy chain and they've been okay (high praise indeed).

    They do peer support and one to one of you need something more in-depth.

    Hopefully you'll have something near you that's accessable.
