Thank you

I posted a few weeks back under the subject "Diagnosis ....or not". I am 63 and my local GP had been totally dismissive of my request for assessment/diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome.

Thanks to the encouragement and helpful advice of Intenseworld I wrote to my local NHS Authority complaining about the treatment I had received from my GP.  Today I received a letter back confirming an appointment (in 2 weeks time) with a consultant psychiatrist.

I have no expectations - the consultant may conclude that I am too old to be diagnosed.  But I am so relieved to find that I have finally been taken seriously.

Thank you Intenseworld.

  • I suspect this is a general psychiatric appointment - the fact that I am being seen so quickly is probably an indication of this.  I will be pleasantly surprised if he doesn't try to fob me off -  I will be no match.  I'm rubbish when it comes to verbal self-advocacy - I can work out exactly what to say after the event .... 

    Will let you know how I get on.
