Looking at my 'GP health record' in the NHS app, I can see that in 1998 I was logged as having “Autistic Spectrum Disorder”. I was never told this.
In 2017 a psychiatrist interviewed me and my family and friends before referring me to the autism centre who did more assessments and then diagnosed me with autism spectrum condition (some 20 years after it was first noted in my medical record).
I emailed my current GP about this, he said that the 1998 date is probably just a mistake as he has no record of autism spectrum disorder in my childhood (then again, I lived in a different county until 3 years ago, and I know how bad the NHS is at communicating).
I just wondered if anyone had faced a similar problem.
How do you suggest I get to the bottom of this?
