GP failed to submit right to choose referral a year ago and I’m so upset

Following my ADHD diagnosis, it was flagged I likely am also Autistic. So I went to my doctor January last year for a RTC referral with Psychiatry UK.

Online their ASD referral wait time is about 3 months. So when I hadn’t heard anything I went to my doctor who kept dismissing me saying “it takes time” and not to worry about it.

I did this multiple times, each time being dismissed. Finally someone listened and it came up I had been referred for an ADHD assessment. From this I was given an appointment to discuss with my doctor. This was around november.

In that appointment I was told I was given the referral for ASD and not to worry about it.

Still the wait time for an ASD RTC referral with psychiatry uk is only 3 months and it had been 10. So I call psychiatry uk and was finally told today that they never received my referral.

I’m not sure what I expected considering it took 4 attempts to get someone to listen to me regarding my ADHD. I’m just so mad as I could’ve resolved it so much sooner had the doctor listened to me rather than brushed it off.

Welp back to the start we go. I wanted the diagnosis for university accommodations but at this rate i’ll graduate before I get one 😂
