I (37f) went to see my GP today for a sick line. I am struggling with the demands of work at the moment. I am currently undertaking a private assessment for ASD after years of social difficulties and mental health issues. I asked the Dr while I was there if she would accept a private diagnosis. The (short) conversation ended in her saying if I had held down a job and a relationship I was not autistic.
This has absolutely baffled me and seems a bit short sighted! I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
Sad situation but not unexpected.
Reminds me of my PIP assessment saying that I don't need any help because I successfully completed a degree.
ha, if you got a degree then you need help because your degree would have likely put you in a life of debt lol
