psychologists & psychiatrists hard to understand, communicate with

I find that psychistrists are either hard to communicate with or do not understand everything.

There is no real support especially in the N.H.S, it is not possible to get a diagnosis of dyspraxia on the N.H.S.

I have an ASD. The psychiatrist said "aspergers traits not a problem" which I know means borderline asperger syndrome. The letter from my GP says ASD. The diagnosis was difficult to understand, I had a 10 minute non-standard diagnosis. A person inexperienced would not understand the meaning of aspergers traits, especially without support.

Some people within the N.A.S, think people either have full traits of asperger syndrome or do not have asperger syndrome. I feel people treat me like experimental data.

My mother has not noticed any problems, except for dyspraxia which has caused me a history of problems. It is of little practical benefit.

Now, I have a complete understanding of dyspraxia, I had to go privately. It could be diagnosed by a clicical psychologist, educational psychologist, occupational psychologist.

I had a cheap deal but there were three faults, the fact I had got a Postgrad qualification without any support, the person I have worked in  a call centre as a market research interviewer and as a telemarketer, the other fault was an undertanding of the Autistic Spectrum.

Under the new diagnostic criteria for ASD, I would not get a diagnosis.

  • I have a diagnosis of dyspraxia ( quite badly). The note : from the psychiatrist says ASD. I have a borderline case of asperger syndrome, I am not an excellent communicator, just good and I like my rouitines (could be dyspraxia). My problem is dyspraxia, I do have a diagnosis of classic asperger syndrome.

    I did the ADOS test, I was fouind to have an ASD, close to the borderline(ASD/no ASD).
