    I’ve had a Quick the NAS site, I’ll have to do a deeper dive at some point. It’s hard for me with Autism, I’ve often been asked how it affects me and I have to just say it in simple terms - “I don’t honestly know as I’ve lived with it over 35 years. The Dr I’ve spoken to this morning is going to speak to the Psychology team, so I expect another long wait again. He mentioned about Autism specific CBT and I had to stop him and just say I have learning difficulties and I can’t make head or tail of it. He said something about Dialectic Therapy which I’ve no clue about.

    I’m just genuinely fed up, downtrodden and in all honesty, after five years of fighting to get the proper help, I’ve just about chucked the white towel in. I’ve just said to myself as I walked around the flat, I’ll only leave for any medical appointments and just keep my head down. Just carry on what I’ve been doing for the last five months. I’m exhausted from fighting to get my voice heard, my Dr is doing me a referral for Advocacy Support and upped my Quetiapine from 150mg to 175mg.

    I am sure you are. @Grumpy1314 Fighting for your voice to be heard is exhausting. You do wonder why you bother.

    I am glad your doctor is doing you a referral for Advocacy Support and hope you do not have to wait too long.

    Any time you want to rant, chat we are here for you.

    Take care.

    Oh Grumpy I know EXACTLY what you are going through right now and "Innerstand" completely as im kind of in the same boat as you. Everything you wrote I can relate to. I really hope you find an advocate to help you speak whats in your heart and support you on your journey

    I'm not feeling very well today I have got a UTI. How about you @Holly_Scope ?

    Oh no @durhamjaide2001, so sorry. That must be incredibly uncomfortable. Have you got some medication for it? 😟

    I'm doing ok thank you. It's my last day at work this week so I'm excited for a weekend of spring cleaning and sorting my things out. I've a lot of clothes and products I don't use so going to sort them and give them away to my younger cousins. Nothing beats a nice spring clean when you're in the mood for it 😊

    yes some antibiotics for it but they are making me feel sick. I'm having my other half of my breakfast for lunch which isn't like me at all.

    Sorry to hear @durhamjaide2001. Hopefully it'll clear up quickly. Normally takes a few day's of antibiotics doesn't it. 💛
