communicating with doctors

swimmer

Hi,  I could do with any advice. I have aspergers and I really struggle with communicating with doctors.  I really struggle to express how I feel in words, but because I am articulate people either dont believe me or treat me like an idiot and also when I think I am screaming that my world is falling in, I dont betray it. and I end up really frustrated.

  • I am glad its not just me.  I feel like I lose the ability to talk,  and I end up telling them I am ok, even when I am not, it feels too difficult to explain how I feel.  Then doctors just treat me like a moron.  It is too complex to explain how I feel and whats wrong and often I feel underpressure to explain myself immediately.  It is even worse when I am seeing a new doctor.  Plus there is already the hurdles of getting to and then waiting in the waiting room
