how to get a diagnosis as an adult?

kingbill

hi i am a 35 year old man trying to get a diagnosis for aspergers . 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?

  • Hi kingbill,

    I am twice your age and I have recently been diagnosed with Aspergers. I wrote a little piece about my own experience of getting a diagnosis on Brian Smith's post ..."To all who have been or are in the process of being, diagnosed ..." Likewise until recently I had found it difficult if not impossible to get a GP to take my situation seriously. But then I moved house and area and I got lucky. I hope that eventually you will also get the diagnosis you want and deserve. Good luck. Nick.
