Recent diagnosis

NAS74967

Good evening.

Its nice to finally be here, I have been with my husband for near on 10 years and I have recognised behaviours within him amongst that time that really concerned me. We waited on a long list for a diagnosis through the NHS which seemed that is was never ending. I decided I could not let him continue to suffer like this and he needed a private diagnostic as soon as possible. We achieved this and recently the results came back that he was on the spectrum more specifically someone who if they still has different catergories has "Aspergers".

I need help what to do next? I cannot afford as much as I would love to provide him with treatment privately. Is there any help that I can get for him? Someone to talk to on a 1-1 basis. Support chats online? I just would like to know where to begin on this journey?

We are based in Norfolk if anyone knows of anything local?

With kind regards.

  • I wanted to say: Don't worry, be happy.

    The worst is in the past - uncertainty about himself.

    Everyone of us, most likely, was thinking about self as flawed, or broken, or something similar until diagnosis. It is like a manual break in a car for us I think, so he can spread the wings of imagination unrestrained now :)

    I have read an interesting book last month (a gift from my friend) ''The curious incident of the dog in the night-time'' by Mark Haddon. It would seem, that explaining things, or figuring out 'how to' in own way, we reach the same conclusions, about pretty much everything. 

    One of my special interests is ''Investigating a clueless copycat syndrom among NT's'' :P, and it concludes, that we are unable to copy others. Learning everything without that booster takes significantly more time, but it is worth it, we get better results all the time.

    So just no pushing and upsetting and it will be fine at first and improving over time.
