Feeling lost

Hi I am new here.. I was diagnosed as having Aspergers 5 years ago (aged 72), except they wouldn't give me a formal diagnosis as I couldn't take along someone who knew me as a child.  Feeling concerned now for the future without a formal diagnosis. Can anyone help me with advice as to where to go from here?

    I'm sorry you've hit this snag. There's always a private diagnosis that you could look in to or could you try to be reassessed now and see if they will give you a formal diagnosis? I've read before a lot of people who were diagnosed without taking someone who knew them when they were younger so perhaps it's changed now.

    Definitely worth trying again whether you go private or not. I hope next time you will get the formal diagnosis and things will look better then for you.
