ASD/ADHD and Right to Choose

unfortunetly in Jan 2021 I had not heard of right to choose, even though I had waited from sept 2020 to get a handle on things (when i figured it out) before asking my gp. She referred me, I filled in a form and I've been on the waiting list ever since…i was 60 then I'm 65 now. I rang last year and they said another 18 months as they had several staff out on long term sick.

I think the journey to the accessment is just as important, and i've learnt a lot by being the fb asd groups. I thought I had no stims, I do. I discovered my most intense traits, and more insight into melt downs so they are over quicker. How my family can say and do things to help me understand what's going on better. Humour, I have my own…i don't understand most humour lol.

Anyways, If you got referred to the nhs directly, don't worry about the wait…though i could have done with the results because I wanted to put in for pip before I reach my pension age….

Had my first Asd assessment in 2019, then final 2 in 2022

I am autistic, have chrones & diverticulitis. Plus other problems , always was clased as a naughty kid when growing up, I tend to have outbursts that have blind rage with them .. havnt heard a thing about my adhd assement just a letter saying they were at 2019 cases that was in 2022 I got that letter & I'm still waiting ✋️ thank god for spell check on my device or no one would read what im typing hahaha 😅, hello everybody hello 😀

I've always said , its not me its the others with the problem, being different isn't a bad thing especially seeing things from another angle it's pretty amazing to how you can work people out just by watching what they do & how they act & that's the ones who make fun of people that are , not like what they are like , no such thing as perfect , look at the labor party .....

When I got my autism diagnosis several yrs ago it did answer a lot of questions that used to go round inside my head . Plus knowing how to deal with situations can help , not always as the nerves go 🙄
