Hey all *wave*
We have slowly discovered one by one that most of our family as suffering from variying degrees of ASD, I was the first diagnosed with Aspergers. I have to say i cried and was sent away confussed and battered, being told to read book, google, and "maybe you should consider not telling people". My Doctor said, there is no help for you really, you have got through life for the past 40 odd years, you will be fine. My 27 year old daughter has not had an official diagnosis but our Dr has said that she has no doubt that she suffers ASD and although the NHS in our area offer no diagnosis for Adults, they will support her with cognative therapy. My teenager is now officially diagnosed with ASD, she has thankfully been offered support and we are now contacting the school to ensure she has all the help she needs. I have mixed feeling about our diagnosis, and I am hoping to get some useful information and hopefully some support from joining with you all on this forum. If you can offer any advice or suggest any books to read please message me, i look forward to hearing from people. We live in the south midlands area so if you know of any support or help we may get in the area that would be great, we dont do groups though, they are real difficult to attend. If i dont respond straight away, please forgive me, i find that this is one of my weaknesses, having to digest and understand before i comment.
