Diagnosis (Female) who doesn't want to go to GP!

NAS71694

Hi, 

I am a 32 year old female who is seeking a diagnosis. I looked into it a couple of years back and found that there were only 2 routes to a diagnosis,

1. Go via your GP

2. Pay a silly amount of money to be referred to an autism specialist

Has anyone else had an issue with these? I am filled with anxiety just thinking about the whole process via the GP and the diagnostic assessment. So much intrusion and involving other people. 

Surely there is a better way to approach getting a diagnosis *I hope*!

I'd be interested in hearing from other people who have felt the same, especially if there is an alternative?

  • You only have to sit in front  of the GP once - that is all I did. Went to see her once, with my wife. Otheriwse the GP just invalidates every word. They all do - in the belief they are some kind of clever thing. 

     My GP is a MORON - so what, she has a degree or whatever. She is a simple NT who is just a sheep and I cant stand being i her pathetic tiny presence and she knows that is what I think. 

    I always quiz GPs whenever I find out that is waht they do for a job. IMO - none of them have enough life experience not even the old ones. They sit in a little office - day in day out for years and decades on end, withering away. LOL 

    Have you seen that ginger doc on the tele - Sarah whatever her name. Her tone of voice makes me wanna throw up, She makes me feel sick. YUK
