so went to see the GP today for a referral to see if i have ASD (read about the symptoms in a news article and it matched up with how i am, just never knew why i was like that till now)
sat down with the GP, i asked to be referred to get assessed for ASD, doctor asked why, told him, he then said i didn't ask what google says the symptoms are, so feeling frustrated i gets up to leave, GP then says i'll refer you but theres no adult services
so what am i supposed to do? just struggle on with the endless loop of not wanting to be in social situations, getting a job then getting sacked for either being "rude", not being able to do many things all at once, or not "fitting in" in the workplace, to then end up with a JCP advisor who's only advice is get on with it
im based in east ayrshire, so the medical centre was cumnock tanyard medical centre
so i guess I'm looking for advice, if NHS GP isnt helping - does BUPA cover the diagnostics part?, because i'd sign up with BUPA if it does
