Hi, I'm a 49 year old woman, mother and grandmother and it's taken me the best part of 10 years to get a GP to refer me for an ASD assessment, but it's took for me to have multiple breakdowns (?meltdowns) multiple job losses recently, my life I would say has always been messy but even I have struggled to understand myself let alone other people understanding me, about 6/7 years ago my mother agreed with me that I was on the spectrum so I asked 2 different GPs for a referral, all I got back was "what would it change or do for me?" That one sentence was so debilitating!
