Recently Diagnosed

BlackHatMentor

A subsection for those who have recently been diagnosed would be useful. I personally went through confusion and in all honesty, am receiving absolutely no useful help via the nas. Perhaps a section like this would help people understand what the NAS can, and can not, help with as well as people being able to teach peopel coping mechanisms.

Parents

  • Well I am at university, and was diagnosed in second year.

    • In primrary the teachers didn't know because it wasn't very known.
    • In secondary the school nurse knew, but could not get me to open to people as I have mild paranoia - so she took it upon herself to look after me.
    • My best freind also has aspergers and has supported me since we met, thinking I already knew I had aspergers.

    I got diagnosed about a year ago, the NAS have arranged 1 hour a week with a carer, when the recommendation letter requested 2 hours.

    The interesting part is that the carer's have been absolutely no help, and I don't know what to do or say.

    1. I am unsure of what the NAS can do
    2. I don't want to offend the carer
    3. I have mild social anxiety caused by stress due to the carer

    Also I am constantly being told 'you only have mild aspergers, it is ok anyway'. My best m8 told me that, actually I simply have more confidence than most due to my father being an ex-bouncer, apart from that me and him are identical and he has been medicated half of his life.

    Speaking to my best freind later on tonight about it, to see what I should do.
