How to find an Autism trained doctor ?

autismtwo

How do you find a real GP doctor ? who understands your condition and can treat you with sensitive because you are hypersensitive to pain in the body ? With the emotional overload and social relationship problems with a doctor(trust, not knowing them as people), can you find a DOCTOR WHO IS A REAL DOCTOR ? basically empathic, listening, compassionate and most importantly accessible without the barriers of phoning for an appointment, waiting for an appointment, speaking to the docs receptionists, waiting in crowded waiting rooms, speaking to the doctor who you do not know, explaining your symptoms without anxiety.

CAN YOU GET SUCH A THING AS A SPECIAL NEEDS DOCTOR GP ?

  • Hi Autismtwo - I think you put across your difficulties very lucidly + that's what you need to do when you see your GP + if referred you need to do the same again.  I think your anxiety is very detrimental to your well-being + could ultimately cause serious problems for you if you became ill or were in need of some other sort of assistance.  Many NTs have anxiety but perhaps for most not at the same level/length of time that autistic people do.  So I think they can understand, but in an nt-way.  Good luck with everything - same applies to Hope.
