To be clear, I already have an autism diagnosis through the NHS. I'm now seeking healthcare for a different condition. I contacted a private doctor who initially offered me an appointment, but withdrew the offer when I told him about my autism diagnosis as part of providing my medical history. He told me to go to a doctor who specialises in autism instead. Is this discrimination?
I appreciate when others understand the limits of their intellect. It sounds as though he wouldn’t want to misdiagnose as there is finally more medical papers on the biological differences. Count yourself lucky.
