Diagnosis

I have tried to get a diagnosis because I believe I have aspergers - or something like it (I'm no expert). The process began in January and the end report was made in June. I was told they couldn't diagnose either way because of a lack of developmental/childhood history to analyse (i'm 41).

I have seen a DWP Work Psychologist who said I may have something called Non Verbal Learning Disorder. THis was dismissed during the diagnosis: the clinician claimed it doesn't exist. There was the possibility of a number of overlapping conditions, including ADD. My feeling is still Aspergers.

What options are available to me? It is important to get diagnosed, but I don't know what else I can do? I cannot get a developmental history, it's completely impossible.

    NAS can't change a diagnosis but they can advise you on how to deal with the system, how to present a case, how to get a second opinion etc etc.

    i'm slightly confused here, have the mental health team said that there is nothing wrong or have they said that they are unable to decide whether anything is wrong?
