Welcome to WP.
City or Rovers?
If you've been referred to the Autism Team (sounds like they should be in a comic) that means you can relax, it's the biggest hurdle and you've cleared it at the first attempt.
When they get in touch and organise an assessment, it's really helpful if your mum is able to come along, or a sibling, as a large part of the assessment is childhood.
Loads of interesting, useful stuff here, not in articles but from the experiences of other Spectrumites (oh yeah), and we never tire of hearing autistic stories as they are our stories.
I will now sing you the song of my people...just kidding.
