Seeking diagnosis

OrangeCow

Hello,

i am 16 and live in lincolnshire. I have struggled with my mental health since i was 12/13 and have been with various services such as counselling  and have been to the doctors numerous times. Last year, after seening my mental health nurse for a few months, she suggested i had autism/aspergers but i could not go any further because i had no support from my parents and wasn't old enough alone. Not i am 16, i went to the doctors to ask for a referral and he said i am treated as a legal adult and can consent. But i was later let down as he said there are no places around to diagnose me. I was wondering:

Has anybody had this issue? And how did you go about it?  

Has anybody been diagnosed in/near lincolnshire and can reccomend a place for me do do so?

Has anybody got any idea on where else i can look?

Thank-you in advance and sorry for the long(ish) message:):):)

  • I don't usually ring people as i worry A LOT about my family hearing. I really don't want to cause arguments or more distress for me. I don't want to seem like i am avoiding things, sorry. I did look on the map, i then tried to research this place which landed me on the nhs website--> www.nhs.uk/.../GenericServiceDetails.aspx do you happen to know anything about them? Because i wouldn't want to take the trouble of finding the money to travel around 2 hours on the bus to be let down.

    thank-you for the reply:)
