hello, i (female teen) was recently was told by my long term psychiatrist that she suspects i’m autistic and on the more concentrated side of the spectrum. booked in for my assessments, but it is very likely i am (i’ve been thinking about it for a couple of years now)
i am worried that i will get a diagonsis of Asperger’s syndrome, rather than ASD, because i know that the UK hasn’t fully stopped using that term. that term makes me uncomfortable because of Hans Asperger.
have anyone on here been recently diagnosed with Asperger’s, or do they use ASD for more recent diagnosises?
