NobbyNobbs Report post Posted September 16, 2008 i have been referred to the mental health team for assessment for AS. not really sure what i get from that since i already have a diagnosis the doctors are all willing to accept but until its officially in writing in black and white i wont fully believe it i think (plus i feel bad that the university is bending over backwards for me now and hope the paper will help) so now i just have to wait 8-10 months for my initial appointment and i'm all set Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted September 16, 2008 8-10 months, its a joke the NHS isnt it!! I dont get what they aim to achieve when your already diagnosed, unless they are looking for a statement of needs to come out of it for the uni to use.

Tally Report post Posted September 16, 2008 Sounds like maybe it's a formality to be honest, just to get what they already know confirmed in writing by the person officially qualified to make the diagnosis. 8-10 months But at least it is going to happen.

Flora Report post Posted September 16, 2008 Actually 8-10 months isn't that bad in comparison to some areas. I've heard people on here say they've had to wait years. Good luck when it finally comes through. Flora Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
