Aspergers diagnosis process

Hi

I am 28 years old and my partner and I know I have aspergers. So I have made a self referral through NHS to get a diagnosis. So I can get the correct help. Can anybody enlighten me on the process in diagnosis and how long it takes? 

Thanks

  • I’m 32, aspergers and had my assessment September just gone. Had to wait a year and at the assessment there was one psychiatrist, it was supposed to be two assessment but I asked as I’ve waited so long can we do it all in one go. I was diagnosed with autism there and then even though she did say aspergers. Try anThumbsuptake a parent with you or someone who saw you growing up and be prepared as they ask you a lot of personal questions that can take it out of you. I hope you get the help you need mate, all the best
