50 years old - is Aspergers diagnosis worth it?

richardsw16

After 10 years of depression and talking therapies (and comments from friends and family), I'm beginning to think I've got Aspergers.

Is it worth going through the diagnosis process? What does a diagnosis lead to?

Think I can be referred by my GP to Maudsley Hospital in south London, but it will take months.

Would be grateful for experiences of others.

  • I'm 66 now and my life as been an absolute nightmare. I was caned at school for austistic behaviour, bullied, and because I didn't have comunication skills was an easy target for anyone who wanted to put me down when an adult. I keep away from people altogether now as I see most of them as just a pile of scum. Sorry, but that's the way I feel about most people because that's the way they made me feel about them.
