    It isn't really possible to be sure whether you have asd on your own. The free aq test can suggest it but you need a doctor to really confirm this. I self diagnosed myself in the first place but I didn't really take it very seriously until I was diagnosed. At that point I suddenly felt that I could start to understand what was going on.

    I agree entirely.  Also, self-diagnosis feeds the belief in the general population that being 'autistic' is just a fashion/fad.  Too often saying that one is on the spectrum is greeted with a kind of knowing smile and obvious disbelief and only an official diagnosis gives legitimacy to the claim.

    I find this so negative and discouraging. I tried my gp and was referred to the cmht, who told me I was well at the moment and not in need of help. Do people really think these things?

    I cannot speak about aspergers to any person  other than here, because I have no confidence. I believe most of the time that I have found the answer, but cannot force my mouth to say the words to anyone. Too many doors have been closed in my face, I cannot face the thought of one more doctor offering me pills for anxiety and me not being able to find the words to explain how things really are. If I could start the process by email, I might stand a chance, but they do not engage with patients by email.
