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?

  • That sounds weird...BASS have a pretty good reputation, and I'm familiar with the service in Bath which has been positive (got diagnosed by them, have attended their advice service and post-diagnosis group). Whilst my diagnosis is officially ASD, I got given info about Aspergers with my diagnosis so it seems bizarre if the Bristol lot for some reason is insisting Asperger's isn't an ASD. The even say on their website one of the things they provide is 'training in Aspergers'.

    They do say they need an assessment report from an assessment in line with NICE guidelines though in order to use their services, so maybe that could be the issue?
