hello and help

bigcol

Hi

I am 52 years old and was only diagnosed with Aspergers 3 years ago, the diagnosis has helped me understand many of the problems I have faced in life.

I have been given a 'health passport' from my local NHS Trust and would appeciate any advice in filling it is. I am supposed to say what help I need when attending hospital or being admitted.

I do not function well in groups, or when  I dont know th esurroundings, hospitals are something of a phobia, I cnnot cope in h]busy witing rooms or wards where tere are kot of people.

If any body is willing to buddy me to fill in this passport I would be very grateful

  • Amy thank you for your very helpdul and usual advice.  I can still remember the problems I had last time at hospital.  Your idea about imagining how I felt is a great one, one nurse was particularly good, she always explained things to me, poor communication is something that really stresses me out, people assume I can undertand the nuances of body languages, facial expressions and vocal clues in what they are saying, which I cannot.  If it is not straight forward communication when I am in a stressful situation this again is very frustrating.

    I will keep looking for peer support, someone may offer to be a buddy one day.

    Thanks again for the support and suggestions, you have been so kind and helpful

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed, it really has helped.
