had assesment - still not right

Jon

Hello.

I had an assement for Aspergers in Sheffiedl last year. The doctor concluded that I did not have 'features suggestive of Aspergers Syndrome'. The doctor must be right and I am having CBT to try and sort myself out. I get depressed, frustrated, anxious and struggle with social interaction. I have low confidence. I thought that a diagnosis Aspergers made alot of sense regarding how I am. Reading about Aspergers did help me understand myself. I am really trying with the CBT but it is hard and I still have the same problems.

I just wondered if there were anybody else who have had assesments and got the same result as me? and how are they?

  • Thanks for your comments Hope and longman. I think the assesment was flawed, but I am trying to accept the result. Its that just don't know what options I can explore now. To add to things I just got back from my CBT session and it seems that it was the last one. I am not sure if I offended the therapist or he thought I wanted it to stop or just that he felt I was now OK. Very confused as to what happened there today. I was really devestated when I came out but on reflection it may be the best thing. I am not sure if anyone on here has tried CBT but it does make you feel like a failure when you are expected to reprogram yourself and can't. I am not knocking the therapy and can see its usefulness but I just can't seem change my feelings.

    I don't think I can go to the GP again because I don't know what I would say. I am really at aeason loss. I am really frustrated by not being able to get myself across.

    If I am not on the spectrum then should I even be here on this forum? I want to accept the results of my assesment ut that still leaves me with the problems of social interaction, depression, anxiety and all the other things they lead to.

    The NHS seems to be very narrow in its thinking.
