Parents at diagnosis

mljt

I read on the NAS website that you need your parents to come to the appointment to talk about your childhood, or failing that, siblings. I have a very difficult relationship with my parents and don't see them much. I don't think they would be supportive of me seeking a diagnosis and my Mum in particular has a very warped and biased view of my childhood in relation to other things. I also don't speak to my brothers at all. I planned to take my partner but it said "if you take someone else with you, such as a partner, they will not play an active part in proceedings." 

I'm worried about having to convey it all on my own, but my parents can't be involved. What will happen?

    I played an active part in my partners diagnosis, I was asked to be there and help fill in the details of his life now, his mum was filling in his life when he was younger

    the details about your life now are important as the past ones, I'm not sure why it would say you can't take a partner when they would be the best one to know you now

    I think you should give someone a call about that, and see if its possible that it's a mistake or if its a rule applicable in certain areas of Britain
