50 years old - is Aspergers diagnosis worth it?

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.

  • Hi Technophobe23,

    It's ok to mention Cambridge, we just wouldn't advise naming specific services in Cambridge such as the name of a hospital/doctor etc. As you haven't had a particularly good experience with this hospital, I've removed the location in line with the Community rules. Hope this helps, it's in no way a criticism of you Smile
