Diagnosis

Huw

Hi! I'm 17 years old and undiagnosed but I'm 90% sure I have some form of Aspergers due to a lot of symptoms adding up and being able to relate to a lot of the things I've read online. Has anyone here been diagnosed with Aspergers as an adult? and if so how did you get your diagnosis?

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Huw

  • Hello Huw,

    I was assessed / diagnosed ASD as an adult, although I had self-diagnosed long before. I think you should talk to your GP first, if you haven't already. Think about what you want to say, write a brief  list of why you feel you may be ASD,  talk it through with the doc and see how it goes. I  went private, which is expensive but much quicker than the NHS, very much quicker. Check with the doc about the waiting time in your area, I think it varies.
