Dear Dr: Re-requesting support and my communication difficulties

If you refuse to read my written notes, please know that I will not be able to tell you what I need and want you to know.

Dear Dr: Asking for a comprehensive Autism assessment

I am articulate AND I have social and communication problems.

I am requesting a formal assessment for ADHD / ADD and Autism Spectrum Condition.

I have not been coping with pressures at home, with relationships and with my mental health.

I try my best to not show fear on my face, just smile knowingly at the group conversation. This stranger might laugh at me when this event is over. I’ve got to be nice and make a good impression.

I am gifted peace to take time to understand conversations. Without the worry of looking ‘dull’ or ‘slow’.
