UPDATE!! - A private individual has loaned me the money to pay for this to happen the funds raised will go to them reimbursing the upfront cost. If donations are given they will go towards helping the financial cost of this but the actual assessments have now happened. I am awaiting a write up but met the criteria for both.

Heya, I am Brielle Labingi, I am a mid-thirties Transfemme. I am on a waiting list to receive a diagnosis of Autism via self referral, however recently had the disappointing email response to chasing that up telling me that the wait was minimally four years. I am not waiting four years, that is cruel and unhelpful to my situation.

Right now I have taken to self diagnosis and using a lanyard to help explain to those around me that my behaviours may seem different. Though this provides me no official concessions or help that would drastically change my life. In the past my behavioural patterns have landed me in some legal troubles that would have been easily avoided with the support and explanation of how I engage with the world and others.

I am trying to find a dual diagnosis assessment because I exhibit traits of Autism and ADHD.

Most peer reviews of myself would tell me I have Autism, which I was denying for the longest of times until it was abundantly obvious.

I am pretty confident an assessment will at the least yield an autism result as I have done autism tests my results were as follows:

43/50 Autism Quotient. (26+)

9/10 AQ-10. (6+)

14/80 Empathy Quotient. (30-)

52/150 Systemizing Quotient. (75+)

216/240 RAADS-R. (65+)

181/200 Aspie Quiz. (35+ ND vs. NT)

163/175 CAT-Q. (100+)

60/60 RBQ-2A. (26+)

RAADS-R Sub Divisions:

18 Language.

102 Social Relatedness.

58 Sensory/motor.

38 Circumscribed Interests.

I am going to be living near London without a secure address and will be difficult for me to find work in my current mental health state and with struggles I face.

Thanks for listening any help is appreciated <3
