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 .

  • Hiya. I'm sorry, we're really not supposed to give personal information because it is important for our protection. I know that it isn't nice, but it is important. I don't like it either, but I understand why it has to be this way.

    You know, we are about 1 out of every hundred people, there aren't many of us, and we can't all talk to each other anyway. I am happy to be able to talk with you, because I have the same trouble. No-one understands me, and I get very upset by that.

    I hope you are reading lots of things on here, there are some very interesting people, and it's probably the only way we can talk to our own kind and be listened to.

    It's good to hear from you again
