Diagnosis!

Technophobe23

To my great surprise, I received a letter today informing me that: "...I would agreee that you do present with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder and I can coinfirm that as a diagnosis."

The assessment process was very stressful and I felt as if I was on trial for falsely claiming to have Asperger's traits.  But apparently I needn't have worried.

Maybe they make the experience deliberately stressful to observe one's reactions? If so, it seems a bit harsh.   I had been feeling very depressed, as I felt certain that I'd get a negative.  Now, I'm feeling very relieved!

  • Good job getting the diagnosis over and done with and thanks for info.

    Yeah i heard if you get the GP to make the refer you can go private and it counts the same.  Either way im not going via NHS, it will send me over the edge, i want to pay and have control of as much as possible. If i could cope with it i'd rather go with NHS for sure.

    You say you coped well up to now? good job on that also. What is your plan going forward does anything change or you just going to relax in the knowledge?
