My mother just mentioned in passing that my biology teacher (who apparently has an autistic son) thinks that I'm autistic? This meeting was a few months ago, and I'm kinda suprised my mothed hasn't said anything till now.

In other news, the referral still hasn't happened. The doctor originally said he would get back within a week (which seemed way too quick tbh), so my mum contacted them today and apparently it is happening.
Does anyone know how long referrals to CAHMS through the NHS usually takes? Also, if they're any good for autism-related things?

Thanks to everyone who's offered their support and advice on this thread so far.
