I tried to get an autism assessment through my doctors as that's the only way, they didn't even contact me and took the appointment off and never have contacted me since... I did the RAADS-R test and got 196/227... It feels like they don't care....

Trust me I’ve had plenty of struggles trying to get stupid doctors to listen to me and honestly the only way they listen is if your a bitch. I’m not typically and bitchy or mean person but when it comes to my healthcare I’ve learned I’ve had to be because doctors don’t take my concerns seriously due to my age and gender. Learning to advocate for yourself is very hard but it does help you get the results you want. Sometimes you just have to blunt and say it like it is and that’s the only way they will listen. Honestly if I were you I would keep calling them everyday or even every hour I know that sounds like a bit much but it will get them to understand you need this and they need to do their fucking jobs. They are supposed to be advocating for your care and health but they aren’t doing that so it’s time to be a bitch. I’m not kidding when I say I’ve called places every hour until they scheduled me an appointment. Sadly sometimes that’s what it takes for them to listen. I hope that helps somewhat. Just know your not alone in this.
You definitely need to keep in contact with them. Calling them directly forces them to listen to/ accommodate you.

@Moon14 I agree. There’re ‘Karen’s and then there are people who keep the world in service. You’re not a karen if you just asking people to do their actual jobs.
Follow up and assert yourself, it could be a mistake or it could be ableism or something else but regardless you deserve to know so you can make other arrangements with a different doctor.
