Diagnosis for adults

NAS73491

Hi All,

After countless years of dealing with mental health issues, compulsive behaviour and what I now know is called 'stimming' I am trying to find out how to get an assessment as an adult in Wales.

Everything o end up with is for children.

I feel that there have been signs that the GPs and schools really could have noticed but since I moved around a lot growing up and it wasn't such a focus then I feel I slipped through the cracks.

Does anyone know what I should do? I'm frightened the GP will just give me depression or anxiety meds.

Thanks

  • I went to my GP and he was very understanding. He sent me the AQ-10 form to fill in by email and i returned in the same day. (Dont get me started on the AQ-10.Lets juts say that I it was designed by NT and not an Aspie.)  But I dont know when I will hear anything back.

    And if you need to get a second opinion. See another GP.
