Iam a lady in her 40s who is thinking of asking to be assessed. I have quite a few austic traits ( which i didnt actually know until it was pointed out to me ). I have always struggled with things from as far back as i can remember.By the age of 11 i went to secondary school and lasted not even a year there before i was deemed ' delicate' . it was a term used in the early eighties which i still don t understand. I was sent to a boarding school (special school) and still have no reason as to why. Any ideas on how to approach my gp would be greatly appreciated thank you .
