An autism diagnosis is anxiously awaiting for her woman to turn up for an ASD assessment.

Autism, 36 – who has been hanging about an NHS assessment centre for as many years – still holds out hope that Sarah Harrow, 36, might have a mid-life epiphany. “I’m just praying somebody buys her the Fern Brady book for Christmas,’ Autism said.

According to Autism, days are spent sitting at a first-floor window seat overlooking the car park, forlornly singing like an orphan from Annie.

“It’s pure shite,” Autism admitted. “I feel like Tracy Beaker waiting for her mum to come and get her.”

“A five-year-old boy came in yesterday and collected his, which of course makes it all the worse,” Autism continued. “If he can be bothered, why can’t they? By the time any women get round to claiming us, they all look like they’ve seen a war.”

According to rumours, Harrow was still insisting she was just a bit unusual – despite being “very kindly let go” from her third job this year.
