    I have once again started the process of getting an official autism diagnosis, this time with a private company. I already have an assessment booked in 2 weeks time. The private sector moves at lightning pace compared to the NHS, but that also means less time to think and prepare. I'll be back after my assessment. :)

    So the psychiatry department at my local hospital just told me that due to the mental health crisis/funding, the local NHS health board has stopped doing autism assessments completely, with no time frame on when they will resume. Time to start looking at options for a private assessment.

    I wish I had that bed when I was 18 and struggling to do simple things like wake myself in the morning for my first college class since I'd moved out. My mom used to wake me in the mornings for HS, but without mom it was hard at first.

    I still have the small lamp from Walmart I bought to hook to a lamp timer. Mom had turned on my bedroom lights in the morning. The timer/lamp was one of my ideas for waking up.

    I know I joked about this the other day, but I really did change the name of this printer to Bob Marley (because it keeps on jamming)

    Have you tried giving all of it's little pinch rollers a clean? They get a glaze on them and then they don't grip the paper properly.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll be opening it up at the weekend for some proper fixing. That will be my first port of call with the q-tips and rubbing alcohol.

    Don't use rubbing alcohol, it has oils in it. Use only straight alcohol (metho) or White Spirit, they're the only two that dry leaving no residues AND don't harm the rubber on the rollers.

    Then you'll have to think of a musician famous for never missing a beat. :)

    My GP just called me to say she is referring me for an autism diagnosis! Now we wait...probably for a long time. But at least my GP saw fit to refer me!

    Autism diagnosis appointment with my GP went very well. Filled out 2 assessment forms and I have a follow-up appointment next week. So far so good!

    Well, finally made an appointment with a doctor next week to talk about an official autism diagnosis. It's about time! Next on the list: coming clean to family.
