Contradictions post diagnosis

Eccentric1

So, I have a diagnosis of Asperger’s and have contacted Bristol Autistic Spectrum Service (who initially stated I was not on the Spectrum) and have now had an “overwhelming” response that My Asperger’s in not an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

As NICE Guidelines say that Asperger’s is an Autistic Spectrum Condition then what is true?

Who can provide me some guidelines and identify support in a language that is black/white without contradictions?

  • I'm surprised that you were diagnosed with Asperger's because now people are diagnosed with ASC Level 1 - Autism Spectrum Condition.

    In my case though, because a Psychiatrist diagnosed me with Asperger's (he would not be a Autism Specialist) - he referred me for to a private organisation specialised in performing Autism assessments for adults Hampshire and Surrey Psychologists). They gave me the post assessment of ASC Level 1, but they did add a note to say that some people would.refer my condition to Aspergers.

    So it looks like they have diagnosed you under the old definitions but it does sound rediculous to me that they can't see they are part of the same diagnosis???
