seven years of hell

Hi there i have just been diagnosed with ASD and you could say my journey is one less travelled.

I feel i have been fighting ASD all my life as a early diagnosis was never made. i never got that opportunity.I often wondered why something was never right.

my first year lead me to loosing my job due to ASD, i was already depressed and anxious but it lead to further depression,

my second year my doctor finally referred me to a physcologist which by the #

third year i was told i needed referring to learning diffuculties classes ,a whole year went by eventually leading to my fourth year they finally diagnosed me with dsylexia

i was sent for another years course to overcome this dsylexia in which at the end of this they told me they could no longer help me and i was referred back to my doctor

in the fifth year my doctor had exhausted all other avenues and i was referred to heathy minds. as i had already been to most of the institutions who offered help

in my sixth year my doctor finally referred me to a clinic for a ASD assesment .finally in my seventh year i was diagnosed with ASD and learning diffuculties.This lead to futher depression and anxiety which was linked to the ASD.

Now my doctor has referred me to a psychiatrist for them to get me the correct help i need.

I feel the best way to deal with ASD is to keep fighting it,  As it has given me strength

as my writing is somewhat lacking, i have had to beg someone to help me get this put in writing what i have been through.

and still my journey is now carrying on .

  • If you put these words on here without a professional to help, then you're communicating very well, at least with us!

    I tend to do most of my communicating in writing. I'm not very good at face-to-face conversations, and I dread the telephone and only use it when I'm absolutely forced to. I avoid shops, including the people in them, but can generaly get a pint of beer by asking nicely on those rare occasions when I'm actually in a pub, although I have to have someone with me to go in the first place, and they don't have to mind that I may have to leave quite suddenly.

    Is there someone or some place in particular that you want to communicate with? Perhaps we can help you along, if you will please let us have a chance.
