Took the referral from the company psychlogist recommending diagnosis for ADHD and ASD to my GP, got a referral to a psychiatrist and a name, called that one today, and surprisingly have an appointment in 1.5 weeks ... 😯
@dzwiedziu@actuallyautistic I have no such things... Never really had any problems insofar. Just remember a blood test 15 years ago where one liver value was slightly above the normal range.
@AnAutieAtUni@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd well, the appointment is at a general psychiatrist. Don't expect her to have a lot ADHD and probably quite misguided ASD knowledge... But for a first appointment it's still quick, I guess. University hospital would probably have a waiting list of several years. Currently their waiting list is closed.
@AnAutieAtUni@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd I do have most elementary school reports. The comprehensive one at the end of grade 4 is missing, probably because my parents needed it for secondary school registration and then forgot to file it properly afterwards...
@riley@dzwiedziu@actuallyautistic I have statutory health insurance. Maybe not as bad as the NHS, but they don't tend to do procedures just in case ...
Extremely full workshop on "Neurodivergent and Unsure" at #gpn22 😲 not sure how much will come out of it, but feels quite validating ... @actuallyautistic
So much for access to diagnosis. The doctor who was recommended to me doesn't take new patients. But of course doesn't write that on her website so I made myself nervous one hour long for a call of fifteen seconds. @actuallyautistic
