Hi all I am new to this forum.
Had a meeting with the psycology doctor and my support worker within the mental health team today. They are looking at getting a diagnosis. I am 34 have 3 boys and was with ex partner 13 years. Have always had social problems and anxiety. They are saying because I had traumatic childhood they will be assesing me within mental health for personality disorders bought on by trauma...but I also think I fit many criteria for Aspergers. I did an online assesment just to gain an idea and i scored 36. borderline aspergers was within 26-32. Anyway i took all this info with me and they are also referring me out to have an asd assesment as agree i do meet the criteria. Both have rather long waiting lists. I am worried they are only thinking of my traumatic childhood. I think some of the things that happened to me were becasue i didnt know how ti respond socially...I also would like to know if it is worth thinking of a private assesment as i dont know if i can wait that long i just want to live.
Would like to talk to others who are in similar positions please or who can advise thanks very much x
Helen
