I have suspected for some time that my husband might be 'on the spectrum' as well as our son, and he admits himself that he was a strange child who didn't make friends and struggled with some schoolwork (though he now has a Cambridge degree!). Any tips on getting an assessment for him? Does it have to go through the GP or are there affordable private methods (it's very difficult to get him to go to the doctor).
I feel that if he had a diagnosis, I would cope better with aspects of his behaviour, knowing there was a neurological reason for them, rather than him just being awkward!
). Looking back i used to get my mum to buy records for me upto to being around 19 because i couldnt face going into the shop.
