  • Funding is bad for adult assessments, but don't give up!!! It took me more than a year (and that was classed 'urgent' ) but now I'm fully diagnosed. It will happen but you have to remind your mental health sevices as often as you can and tell them of the urgency.

    I asked my psychiatrist for a diagnosis and as he was not an expert he couldn't give me one but wrote a letter stating that in his opinion I had aspergers but was waiting for the official assessment. I found this letter helpful even though it wasn't a diagnosis because people would take me more serious than before. You never know, something like that might help you while you wait for something more official.

    After diagnosis things are not all that good anyway... again to do with low funding. Not to put you off but don't expect miracles. You will get help but have to do a lot of legwork.

    I wish you all the best
