Just been to see my GP - and had a surprise.

Hey all,

New member here.

OK, so I went to the doctor today about my recovery from a heart attack and she started asking me about myself in general.

Told her a few things about myself like how I have depression, acute anxiety, OCD and social anxiety disorder amongst other mental health issues. Had a long chat with her and she's now talking about wanting to see me again and she suspects Asberger's and may want to refer me to a specialist.

This has kind of knocked me for six tbh. I know I shouldn't have but I read up on Asbergers and, maybe because I want it to be the case, I don't think a lot of the symptoms fit me.

I mean, I'm in my 50s and no one has ever mentioned any form of autism before with respect to me. That's not typical is it?
