    Oh Goodness!  I feel for you, but I've never found MH Service much use.  Too quick to judge.  But don't let put you off.  I've heard of people in other areas who got a good service.  Might just be where I live.

    Personally, I would ask that they make sure that whoever deals with you has a good understanding of ASD.  I've been reading a few academic papers on how approaches SHOULD be modified - and they're all making perfect sense to me.  It could be the difference between getting the RIGHT care or not.
