Diagnosis disadvantages

NAS86472

Hi,

Can anyone point me towards any full, honest, up to date lists or discussions of the disadvantages of an autism diagnosis? Eg I've just discovered some countries don't let you emigrate to them (including the UK), and in some cases you must disclose your diagnosis to the DVLA. 

Many thanks!

  • What an interesting way to look at it?  Just wanting a list of disadvantages?  Do you already have a list of advantages?  Are you thinking you "should" get a diagnosis....but are then scared of  what that might bring?  Obviously, no requirement to answer these queries....but I am genuinely intrigued.  I have read many dozens of threads in this place on the dis/adv of diagnosis, but never one that asks for just negatives.

    Regards
