Is diagnosis for adults recommended

Amanda

Hello I'm new here, my partner was assessed in the summer and confirmed as autistic (high functioning, Asperger's). However, diagnosis is expensive and there's a waiting list. Do you recommend it?

  • You don't need to be assessed for autism, if you know your partner is and he accepts that. That's enough. Everyone is different of course, as long as your partner has your full support l, that should be enough. Some poeple don't get any support from there families, as they can have a meltdown alit or overload and because of a lack of understanding which is very unrespectful, that person with autism will continue to have melt down and they may get worse.

    So as long as you and your partner research it your self, as you and your partner will know best. As your partner lives with it and with open communication. Your the other best person to know. 

    From personal experience the diogenetic services are not very good, there very limited in there understand.  Expect if they have it there self and then they can appreciate what the autisic person gies through on a daily bases.
