Diagnosis

wishface

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.

  • The points I made above were not made during the assessment. They are my observations made after the fact; i have not presented them to the diagnostic team at all. These are my own otherwise private conclusions.

    Even so, were i to have made the team aware during the process, i don't see how that could frustrate them. That's like a doctor saying you're too sick to be diagnosed. At the very least would they not have told me this?

    I'm afraid I don't agree.
