Assessment at ADHD-BED Integrated - how long for report?

TL;DR: Has anyone had their assessment with ADHD-BED recently and can tell me how long it took to get it?

I just had my assessment this morning via telehealth and in all that was going on I didn't think to ask how long until I get the report and the plan sent to my GP. I know the initial info says "up to 3 weeks" but really hoping it's not that long.

I was pretty confident I have ADHD, and my regular psychologist was also very confident and suggested the assessment. However it's left me with more questions instead of answers, whilst she said yes there is ADHD there and I can get going on medication and see how it helps, she also said there are clear markers for ASD but we didn't assess for that so she can't be completely sure, and it also appears that my ADHD is not clean cut and is muddled with ASD markers, then to double down on my already processing shock she said I have an eating disorder and recommended to get on a plan for that and seek a dietitian who specialises in neurodivergence struggles with eating.

None of this is a "shock" to me, but from me thinking I was going to walk out of this (or stand up from my desk really) with a simple ADHD diagnosis and all things would now make sense, I've now been rocked with potential ASD traits, and so desperate to read this report and get my head around it all.
