He sounds quite like my dad. I am on the waiting list for diagnosis, have not told him as I think he will just pooh pooh the whole concept, as my mother did when I said I was thinking of it. If I get a diagnosis and suggest he might also be affected he would probably see it as me having the "problem" not him.
I am fascinated by psychology but he seems completely uninterested in his own or other people's feelings or motivations, and I guess part of this is his generation (he is quite elderly)
It may be the idea of anything official/medical that is putting your dad off, rather than the idea that he may also have AS. Instead of the GP, maybe you could suggest some online tests?
