What did you do to start the process? Or did a doctor bring it up first?

What process did you go through? How long did it take?

did you find it difficult getting assessed?

Thanks.

  • I went for my initial appointment in November 2011 where I met a very nice mental nurse - first gate - then onto the trainee pshyciatrist - second gate - then onto the boss of the team - third gate - I took in a list of things I had noticed about myself - they were lost - so I had to see the boss again - forth gate - I took in a copy - then I have been phoning the Aspergers Drs secretary  about every 2 weeks to see if any progress has been made - now I am told he is on a course to learn about an easier faster assessment - so I am still waiting - and if I had £600 I could be assessed in about 2 weeks - but I have not got that to spare so I wait - I do have a very good idea that I do have Aspergers - in fact I would bet on it

     

    two of my sisters and a niece and nephew were diagnosed last year but they do have the money - I am the poor sibling lol - but I wait and I try to be patient -
