im 35 and can honestly say that all is missing at the moment is a doctor whowill take me seriously. they have diagnosed me with depression for years. this is wrong i am not depressed. i do have aspergers and when i asked the doctor to meake me a refferal today he did so but kept typing on jhois computer and then promptly told me it is unlikley i have it. he couldnt see that what hwe was doing was making me anxious and extremley angry. i couldnt concentrate on what i was saying. i saw a psychiatrist for my depression a little over aa yera ago and wrote everything down so i wouldnt forget and could focus on something elase whem i was nervous. he told me i had read what i was saying and i was too intelligent to have proble,ms of the magnitude i was describing. he then told me the nhs is underfunded and they needed their valuable time for severe cases. this has put me off asking for help. i have to do this now as my 17 year old son is showing symptoms and my 15 month old daaughter appears to be showing signs of it. i am waiting until my daughter is slightly older to get a diagnosis for her. since my son is in wales and not with me the doctors are going down the same route as before. this time for the sake of my children i really need help. is there anyone with advice about how to approach the psychiatrist and how can i get a diagnosis at 35 when there is only me? i have no other help and am beyond my wits end over this. i just dont want to mess things up again because of my reactions to their comments. forget looking at the face for signs because i psysically cannot read them. i am really desperate for help.
