Erm, right, OK. I've been wondering for a couple of years if I have Asperger Syndrome. i finally plucked up the courage to visit my GP a couple of weeks ago, who has referred me to the local MH team. Sadly, they have only offered me an appointment in November (more than three months away). I just wondered if anybody (particularly females, I'm a 26 year old female) could have a look at my main problems & see if they sound like typical problems faced by girls with AS. I have a Cadet course in October that may be slightly easier if they know I have AS, but I don't feel comfortable telling them without an official diagnosis. Basically;
I apologise for the length of the post. There are other things I struggle with but I think I've said enough for now. If anybody has any coping tips, they would be much appreciated.
Hi sgt,
I'm not exactly coping myself so no great tips to give. Just on the sleep front; if your GP is feeling helpful he may prescribe your Melatonin. It's the body's natural sleep regulating hormone and alot of us on the spectrum don't make enough or something. I got some and it made the world of difference - at least for a few months anyway. I seem to have become resistant to it or something, it no longer efects me like it used to so I stopped taking it. Hoping the resistance will go and I can use it again sometime.
Kind regards,
