Hello

Who is the best person to see if I think I have autism, I have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder which I have never really considered myself to have, the more I read about being autistic the more I can identify with it, I just can't see my GP doing anything? I have taken an online test (RAADS) and I have scored highly in this. Has anyone else gone through this scenario, wheres best to start?

Thanks in advance

  • Hello,

    I first took an online test for Asperger's. I had, for a time, suspected that I had the condition. I went to a GP last year, I was referred to a local Autism service only a few months ago, and was officially diagnosed with Level 2 ASD only last month. It can sometimes take time to receive a diagnosis. I would recommend seeing your GP in order to see whether or not anything has been decided.
