There is no specialist of adult-autism in my country!

Tolga Atmaca

Hello everyone. I'm Tolga from Türkiye (Turkey) and i'm 40 years old. Lately I've been suspecious of i could have aspergers. After i realised i can't find any specialist of adult-autism in my country, i searched it in English on google and i found a complete different world which is share my difficulties. After that, i took adult-autism tests from https://aspietests.org/ and i did it twice with 10 days break and in anyways, i'm all over that the thresholds and the system adviced me that i should have a professional help for diagnosis. 

I have no idea, how can i have this help remotely. Do you have any advice for me to do? Thank you!

    Hi, thank you for responding. If you searched it in Turkey, there is only autism centers and hospitals for children. I told, plenty of psychologists, autism societies and the poeple who has diagnosed child; they have no idea what is adult-autism. In Turkey, even professionals acting like its a childhood issue. And couple of them told me that if i would feed them back if i learn something. 

    As for the budget, i could have afforded if i could find a solution in Turkey. But unfortunately, its not the same for UK. 1 Pound is around 12 Turkish lira so probably it will cost me a small fortune. But i don't know really. First i need to know if its possible to get help remotely, than i would like to learn about the costs. 

    My best regards

    Tolga
