I have been to see two gps who both just fob me off the first one told me you cannot get a diagnosis as a adult .The second one just told me to get in touch with mind i have been on their website and it dosent mention aspergers. the gp put me on medication for anxiety and depression which made me rock ,twitch open my mouth as wide as it goes . I dont know what else i can do to get a diagnosis . Is there anyone who has successfully got a diagnosis as an adult if so how?

  • The Autism Pathway is the fast, easy summary view of NICE guidance on 'autism' and describes the step by step route to diagnosis and management of anyone who may be on the autism spectrum. This is the new pathway which ought to be followed by doctors. It only came out yesterday, so your doctor may not have seen it. It might be worth putting the link on a card for your doctor.
