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 asked my GP, I was referred to the Adult Mental Health Services.

    After 3 months, I had the diagnosis, a non - standard diagnosis, consisting of a 10 minute chat.

    The psychiatrist said "aspergers traits not a problem". The note from the psychiatrisdt says, I have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I have a borderline case of asperger syndrome.

    The NAS seem to think, it is blackl anmd white, asperger syndrome or not, biased towards children, treated, like an experiment, I needed post-diagnostic support. I am not a classic case of asperger syndrome. It does not help practically.

    My real problem is dyspraxia, dyspraxia is much poorer understood and explained.

    If the NHS fails, try privately, the British Psychological Society.
