Referral help

StMartin72

I have a GP appointment on Jan 8th. I'm trying to get a referral to a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome. What are the key points I should bring up with the GP to get a referral. I really need some advice, thanks.

    Just ask for a Referal for Asperger's. How to go about it.

    I had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for a year before and then went back to the GP and ask to be referred again for CBT. I was referred to the Psychologist who then sent me to another Psychologist in another department, who did a detailed assessment over a period of a couple of month and used my previous CBT information as they had access to all of that and told me then they think it could be Asperger's. Her area was Aspeger's- I guess that was why I was sent to see her.  She sent the request in the GP for the referall to the Assessments. 

    Dont be suprised if the GP wont send you to the Psychiatrist strait away.

    The GP might want you to do other things first like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and if you are given that option then take it because it can all lead you to being assessed.  Or other things that you may not want to happen. But accept them and go with them beacuse it can all help the process and help you to find out what it is you need.
