So, recently I went to my doctor's to discuss possible routes for getting a diagnosis. They referred me to an organisation that mostly deal with anxiety to help with that aspect of my makeup but was advised to mention the Asperger's as they might be able to help.
I brought it up at the session I attended but feel like I was fobbed off. They asked me why I thought I may have Asperger's and so gave a few examples, although my mind did go blank so probably didn't do myself justice.
Their response was that "it is obvious if someone has Asperger's as they always come across as rude".
I felt abit offended at this as surely this is a generalisation?
They followed it up with "everyone has some autistic traits"
She claimed that I was just shy..which I don't know how she could come to these conclusions within 15 minutes of meeting me.
Does anyone here think Asperger's is obvious to detect in either yourself or other people?
Or has anyone here felt like they have been fobbed off?
