Diagnosis for Women in Scotland (Fife)

Nic878

Hi Everyone

I've completed Autism Quotient Test (50) and completed the RAADS-R test (80 statements) and on both have significant to high likelihood of autism. I have a private counsellor who also thinks I'm on the autism spectrum. I've read several books and at this point I am 100% sure I'm on the autism spectrum. I went to my local GP surgery and was only given an appointment with the mental health nurse who hadn't even heard the term neurodivergent, and told me there is no formal route for adults to be diagnosed in Fife. I feel this can't be true due to many people being diagnosed later in life. 

Does anyone have any similar experiences? I'm at a loss because I would like to inform my work to explain why I struggle with certain things and also to explain to my family.

TIA

  • Hey am in the highlands and have been put on a waiting list - it appears to be 4 years at least til I am even seen. Am not sure if its different in Fife but I have chose to go private and was recommended a place called RTN Mental Health solutions - I am literally just about to start the process but they seem to have a good rep and reasonable price compared to some. Not a recommendation just what am doing

    good luck :)
