My main condition is dyspraxia.
In 2002, I was told I had dyspraxia by a speech therapist. I thought dyspraxia was just being clumsy.
People thought I may have asperger syndrome. I had a non-standard diagnosis of "aspergers traits". It was a 10 minute chat. The psychiatrist said "aspergers traits not a problem", in 2004. The letter from the psychiatrist said I have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I thought the diagnosis would help get me a well paid graduate job, but due to several reasons including me far above the support.
The National Autistic Society assumes that I have asperger syndrome, a classic case, as opposed to a borderline case of asperger syndrome. I think the reason is that they are child based. I only have had a problem with dyspraxia.
When I learned about adult dyspraxia, in 2008, I realised my problems were dyspraxic,.
I received my diagnosis in 2012, privately.
I have never had any individual post-diagnostic support.
Dyspraxia and aspergers traits overlap.
I feel the system fails adults, people who have borderline cases and the neuro-diverse people(people with dyspraxia, dyslexia, AD(H)D). People seemed to have a fixed approach to asperger syndrome expalining all problems but in reality, people have neuro-divserse profiles.
I only can get support in employment for dyspraxia because the condition affects me a lot.
