Hello, like others on here I have a late diagnosis of high functioning autism. I was masking the behaviours of my older brother throughout my childhood. I played football even though I wasn't very chatty. I graduated with a maths degree from University.
Now I work and have a family. My doctor has been reluctant to give me an autism test as I've led a fairly normal life. So I went private and yes it came back as I was on the spectrum. Do you think it is worth me telling the doctors, or will it just be more hassle? Thanks for your opinions.
yes actually as it feedback that they missed this and didn't listen to you !
And my next question is. Do you think with a diagnosis I would get extra help when training to be a primary teacher?
u need to check that out with the uni/school training you
With a diagnosis you can get non-medical help (e.g., ASD Tutor support) during your higher education.
