Another newbie aspie

Hi Everyone,

I'm a 47 year old woman who was diagnosed with Aspergers around 9 years ago after years of bullying in the workplace, anxiety and depression. After diagnosis I was basically left high and dry with no understanding or support apart from a very good friend. 

I've been anxious and depressed off and on ever since until things came to a head in February when my life fell apart.  But at last I've got a fantastic GP and psychiatrist who're getting me the help and support I need.  I'm very keen to learn how to cope better with it and would welcome advice and like to make friends with like-minded people.

    Hi Kacey and everyone,

    I went to see my GP this morning to talk about getting a referral for an AS diagnosis. I was quite anxious about it, but it turned out great and she was very happy to refer me to a specialist diagnostic centre in my area. 

    So step one is overwith. Now I just wait for the referral to go through to get an appointment at the diagnostic centre. 

    It feels good to take that first step.
