[QUOTE="Bryan, post: 2789, member: 1186"] I self identified and saw my GP. He thought it was "OCD". OK, whatever just refer me please... He did. One year later, I called the listings team to be told that there was "probably" another year or so to wait. I'd been very patient up till then, but REALLY struggling at work (as usual). I did something I rarely do - I 'kicked off'! I laid out on the line - my job is at risk of I don't get some input. Low and behold, I was seen within about 3 months. However, there was no follow up post 'diagnosis' of Asperger's. Nothing. So in the end, what was the point? I have a piece of paper that says I am autistic, but that's it. [/QUOTE]
