Adult diagnosis in lincolnshire ? where?

Larocoz

Hi im 19 and i think i have aspergers syndrome, i have all the symptoms and i have been to my GP a few times for a diagnosis, my GP says i have aspergers too but she can not find anyone that can provide a formal diagnosis. so iv decided to try and find someone privately.

I live in North Lincolnshire, Does anybody know anyone that mght be able to help me ? I am going to university in september and i want to ensure i get the help i need to make it easier for me to cope away from home.

any feedback would be great, or anyone else experiencing it hard to find someone to give a diagnosis ?

thanks

  • I believe my 18 year old daughter has Asperger's syndrome and have done for a couple of years, I tried to get an assessment via the GP over a year ago to no effect, she has been under the mental health team for 2 years with a diagnosis of social anxiety but has since developed more serious mental health problems. They seem to think she has Asperger's too and want to have an assessment to decide what part of her behaviour is this and what part is a mental health issue but there seems to be some confusion as to who will refer her for assessment and to whom. Can anyone advise me who performs these assessments on adults and how it can be acheived?
