6 years on, my GP is sufficiently autism aware to refer me, a 66 year old woman, for assessment to specialist unit and to MHT, but the mental health team psychiatrist and my care coordinator declare themseves under informed on autism, and, while accepting my issues, feel uncertain on how to help me.
This is Avon and Wiltshire MHP.
