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

  • A friend of my mum gave her a magazine article about Aspergers and said she thought the symptoms were how she’d always described me.  My mum then discussed it with my brother’s partner who’s a psychologist and she admitted that she’d always thought I had it, I wasn’t convinced as I don’t have any physical symptoms so to end the argument and mystery it was arranged that I’d see another psychologist for a private report/diagnosis.  Took about 5 months.
