So, apparently I don't have Autism

stranger

I was told this morning that I don't have Autism, I shouldn't be attending the Autism group (apparently, only people with a diagnosis can attend these - not what I've been told by the branch officer) and counselling will solve everything.

The person who told me this, hardly knows me and claims it's self esteem and confidence that need sorting out.

She's meant to be disability support.

  • As far as the GP I saw this morning is concerned, I do have a diagnosis of ASD. The psych made it sound like he wasn't sure. He wasn't happy about this at all and said that if he has to, he will write a letter explaining that I do have Autism (like my parents, he wanted to know where this woman got her qualifications from to tell me I don't have it) and what adjustments will be needed.
