Just been diagnosed.

@Honeybee12: I can beat that (age-wise and I'll match you on length of time-wise!), my daughter is 12 and still awaiting a diagnosis despite having had a rushed and cursory CAMHS assessment.  I tried to get her assessed at 8 and the Ed Psych was rubbish, he knew nothing about the "different behaviour between school and home" issue and said he didn't see any signs and I trusted them.  (I'm a lot wiser now).  I knew she had Asperger's when I was desperately searching for reasons for her meltdowns and difficult behaviours when she was six but at that point I didn't know what I could do about it or where to turn.  Rubbish isn't it when services are so crap.  It's an achievement when you get a diagnosis in many ways.  (My other daughter was diagnosed less than a year ago).
