  • Hello

    Its very bad practice to give you a diagnosis through the post.

    I think it might mean 'query Aspergers', meaning the diagnostician is not sure about the diagnosis, which isnt very helpful as you need a definitive answer.  I suggest you write to the person who has made the diagnosis and ask for clarification - so ask why it says '? Aspergers' in your letter and explain that you need to fill in DLA forms and so need a definite answer.
