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.

  • Hi would be interested to know about the privateassment, I am 51 and been waiting on the NHS for 18 months. My wife and I have had long chats about my autism, she has learnt that me stacking the dishwasher wrong (i say i just do it diffrent!) and the like is not worth going to war over. We pick our battles and she now knows I am not doing things to annoy her, its just how I am. She is rubbish with money an dhas big debts so he has flaws too, we all do. Luckerly i happened to come across another guy who is similar to me and talking to him has helped. Talking is really the only 'cure' for this and you both need to move towards a happy place of compromise.
