Think I have Aspergers/could really do with a friend

kenny73

Hi, I'm Kenny,aged 42. I've done an online Aspergers test through the Aspergers test site,the result from that test suggests that I've got Aspergers.I've been to my doctor to ask to be referred for a proper test/diagnosis but he totally dismissed that idea,another doctor was just the same. I get told by them that I've got Social Anxiety Disorder but I'm co hinged I've got Aspergers. I find interacting with people incredibly difficult, although I would really like one or two friends. I've joined twitter as a means of speaking to others but few people want to talk to me, I could really do with some freinds.

  • Sorry to hear your frustration, I didn't get my diagnosis via my GP, so it possible. A counsuelor I was seeing suggested I looked in to aspergers, and with my agreement got in touch with the autism diagnostic team. They, after wrting to me got in touch with my GP, to "prompt" him to refer me for the diagnosis. A bit of an odd route, but I was, and still am very anxious to see my GP. I should get in touch now because I am very stressed

    Not sure this is an answer for you, but just letting you know incase it may help. 

    I was diagnosed last August, and when I did the online test, I was borderline. Going through the diagnosis, however, it was clear that I was firmly on the spectrum. I am sure the opposite can be true, and I guess your GP needs to balance that up with putting you through the ordeal of a diagnosis.

    Having said that, I personally feel you should be offered a diagnosis.

    Even when I was in contact with the autism team, I was unsure if they were offering me a diagnosis, a good six months in to the process
