Asperger's without an official diagnosis 28yo.

Matt

Hey everyone, first time posting here and could do with some help with my current situation.

I've been going back to counselling for some time now and we've done a bit of a deep dive. I won't go into the details as it's a little boring but both I (with some research) and today my counsellor, believe that I have Aspergers. 

Seeing everything laid out it makes a lot of sense and as scary and upsetting as it I feel quite relieved. 

I've been refereed by my GM for a diagnosis but this could take months even to hear back. With what I've discussed with my counsellor (who has worked extensivly with adult Asperger  clients) I feel as though it's wrong to start coming to terms with this without it signed on a piece of paper.

Has anyone else been in this situation?

  • I realised that I most likely had it after my son was diagnosed . It took me a couple of years to get diagnosed myself but yes, it was a relief to finally have the missing piece of the jigsaw. Even before the official diagnosis, if situations stressed me out, I would explain I was autistic and it helped sometimes.
