My GP thinks asperger's is a "psychiatric medical condition that requires routine psychiatry appointments"

Absolutely. Please register with another GP surgery. It is pot-luck but there are some good ones out there.

After years of not being listened to by my family GP, I switched practices and they basically started with a clean sheet and ignored all the notes from previous GPs, who, among other things had repeatedly referred to me as 'an attention-seeker'. Upon switching, my Asperger's got diagnosed as well as my endometriosis, both of which had crippled me in one way or another for decades. And, since moving out of the area completely (from the Midlands down to the south-coast), I've honestly never had better medical care—kindness, professionalism, and determination to get to the root causes of my symptoms—rather than being labelled a time-waster and ignored. That said, I've yet to speak to them about my Asperger's specifically, but I feel fairly confident that I will be listened to when the time comes.

 all i can do is give you my experience of some of these things iv gone though these psychiatrist think there god and so do some of the gps there not we humans only know a small amount about most things but what we do when we find out about anything is think we know it all take autism im 64 yrs old had it all my life being trying to find out what its all about  since i was first told i had this condition 1 + half years ago and the 1st thing 2 people said to me when i first found out thats me is autistic people dont have empathy well iv researched this and in fact it know appears we have more than the typical person due to the fact that we are highly sensitives people , a psychiatrist forced me to take psychotic  meds years ago and i still wonder if its effected my mind for the worse on a permanent basic   why does this psychiatrist want you to take it?  what is it suppose to do its to stop having psychotic episode  

autism is a neurological condition there are no meds specifically for it i have heard some people can get relive from some but not me and iv been on psychotic and antidepressant which actually made me depressed  my advice would be go to the psychiatrist with a list of questions and whats and note down what he says then ask him the same questions wks or months later and i wouldn't be surprised if you get diffrent answers and even see if you an get a second opinion even though most of the time they ie gps and psychiatrist ect  normal stick up for each other
