Hello all
I am a middle-aged man who is seeking a diagnosis of autism (it's a long story). Having spoken to my GP last year, I was sent to a psychologist, who referred me to CBT for 'anxiety' (with the usual long waits between each appointment). I got a strong impression that all three (GP, Psychologist and CBT therapist) just didn't want to hear the term 'Autism', despite significant indicators, and that I was not taken seriously - I suspect cost and a lack of local expertise is a major factor.
It seems that this route to diagnosis is unavailable as subsequent discussion with my GP got me nowhere; I am not sure where to turn next. Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
