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 all , I had my appointment with a man from the mental health team , after talking to me fir abiut an hour about me and my childhood , he said no you dont have autism or any learning difficulties. He said I am intellegent and he suggests I get a hobby and eventually find a job. He cannot explain why I was put into a special school. I feel totally lost now .
