Hello,
Firstly I'd like to apologise if this is something often said or against any guidelines.
I've recently been trying to find more information on an adult diagnosis. I saw my GP and it was the most unhelpful thing I could have done. Zero help. Just a "yes, based on the AQ-10 you likely have it, but we don't have any nearby services to refer you to". And that was it. No formal referral or course of action I should take.
I don't want to pay for a diagnosis, and if I have to do that, I just won't pursue it. I feel that my GP let me down after me working up the courage to speak to someone about it and try and find the pathway to a formal diagnosis.
Does anyone know what I can do from here? Private diagnosis is very expensive and I don't feel like I should have been dismissed based on their lack of knowledge or lack of care to help me explore my options. I don't need a diagnosis, but I would like one to help me feel validated.
Thanks in advance.
