I thought I was having the autism assessment today. I got mixed up again lol 😆.

Strawberry1

I don't know how long the wait is going to be for the autism assessment. The person I spoke to today told me to email them directly. I managed to remember I needed to email them late on . At least I emailed them eventually lol 😆. Fingers crossed it's not much longer.

Sorry Scope Family for getting so mixed up with the assessments information today. I did think it was the Autism one .

Strawberry1

I really wanted the assessment to be autism and adhd together . I never realised what would happen.

Strawberry1

Now I know one answer could that mean I'm to blame for all the family problems.

Strawberry1

I apologise unreservedly

hi strawberry 1

Hopefully the autism assessment will be soon, I’ve been waiting for my assessment for around 12 months but been told it will be around 36 months

Can I ask how they assessed you to have adhd and did they tell you straight away ?

Strawberry1

Hi @apples , i hope it isn't too long either. Fingers crossed for both of us . They sent out some questions via email and text . We answer them and send them back . I'm with psychiatry uk . I had a video call and was asked a few questions on what I put in the answers and I was told at the end of the video call . Hope this helps.

Thank you @Strawberry1 that helped a lot

I think my referral was just for an autism assessment but I would have liked to have both tests

At least you have one diagnosis hopefully the autism assessment will be soon

👍

Ah I'm glad you got a diagnosis @Strawberry1 that's good news. How're you feeling about it now?
They often do the separate assessments, so not to worry there. I'm waiting for my ADHD assessment still, but it's fairly obvious I have it. 😆

So glad you got a diagnosis @Strawberry1! Don't worry about getting the assessments mixed up, it's all very confusing. I've got my fingers crossed that the autism assessment isn't too far away.

Hi @apples , you are very welcome . My head feels a bit in a spin at the moment @apples . I will sort it out eventually thank you for your support. I hope you don't have to wait too long for your adhd assessment fingers crossed it's not a long wait . All the best with everything. Take care of yourself and hope you have a decent rest of your day 💜 .

Hi @Albus_Scope , hope you are feeling a little better today . Lots of pesky germs going around. Hope you're rid of them soon . I hope you don't have too long a wait for your Adhd assessment. I keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. I feel a bit like my head is in a spin at the moment. Feel like I just want to be quiet. I will get my head around this eventually. Thank you again for your support. Take care of yourself and keep being you . All the best 👍

Strawberry1

I may take a little break just until I've got my head around this . Thank you for your understanding. Take care of yourselves everyone 💜. Thank you 😊.

Thanks @Strawberry1 very kind of you to ask. I'm still full of lurgy, but I have a few days off to lay about soon, so it's all good. 😊

It's totally natural to be feeling a bit out of sorts after a diagnosis, it's a lot to take in, so take your time and just try to be gentle with yourself. 💜
