Hi there

paulies

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 .

  • Hi paulies happy to hear you managed to take the first step, you done a helluva lot better than myself, that communication barrier is a stinker, I've pretty much always felt like going to the doctor meant proving my ailments are real--I think it's the way everything is set up, do you have/know any family/friends or mental health/social/key or advocacy workers who could act as intermediaries for you and your GP?
