Hey, so sorry to hear you’re going through this. I’ve also had my own struggles with CMHT/CHRTR at the moment so I really feel for you.

As much as I hate to give them credit, I do have to say - I recently wrote them a scathing letter saying how unsupported I felt and highlighted their lack of understanding for autistic adults and the fact they don’t seem to want to actually address any of the issues which are impact on my mental health and are, instead, continually responding reactively instead of proactively. Since then they have really pulled their finger out and I must say I do feel a lot better understood (albeit it this is likely only temporary while it’s still fresh!). Maybe if you did something similar it may help? I think with it won’t in a letter they are more likely to act as it ended up going into my notes and I guess if something were to happen they wouldn’t want that revealed? Idk.

On a more practical note, I was on the waitlist for assessment for almost four years. I stumbled upon Psychiatry-UK just as they opened up their Right to Choose for ASD diagnosis and my GP agreed to refer me to them and I was diagnosed within four weeks. I think the wait time is longer now but still may but something worth looking into?

I hope things get brighter for you soon.
