Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate your opinion please. I have had a therapist and GP say I have ASD, but no formal diagnosis. Apparently that's as elusive as matching socks. I've just been on a 3 day research binge and I no longer know which way is up. In your opinion is self- identifying acceptable? I honestly don't know if it would make me a fraud or others would see me as a fraud. All I've ever wanted is to just make sense of myself and find a place where I feel I belong. I would really appreciate your thoughts, right now I have too many of my own. Thank you
fight for a diagnosis --- u will be helping those autistics coming behind you. Imagine if A&E was no longer diagnosing broken bones ! Have you contacted the CAB for legal advice? I personally would be writing to my MP.
Your aidie, I've been given some amazing advice from NAS and I know I should fight for others. I like to think of myself as strong, but at the moment I just feel overwhelmed by the thought of the fight. I'm thinking of asking someone I know to help, that's actually a big step for me.
