A couple of months ago I actually laughed at the idea that I could have Aspergers and yet today I decided I'm going to ask my gp for a referral for an assessment. I can't believe it.
I've spent the past month researching how Aspergers presents in females, read past threads in this section and on other websites, spoken to an NAS advisor and organised all my thoughts in a lovely table showing how I meet the triad of impairments. I'm going to take that along with the results of my AQ test when I see the gp.
I just feel really nervous about the whole thing still. I've had bad experiences with the doctors at my gp surgery in the past and I tend to panic and clam up and often cry 
when I see them about even very routine things because I feel so overwhelmed. I was thinking of asking when I make my appointment if there is a locum doctor who I can see. I think it might be easier if it's a complete stranger.
I will be absolutely mortified if it turns out I am just a slightly weird, extremely introverted nt person. I will have to change doctors and possibly my identity to escape the embarrassment. I'm also cringing at the thought of telling my Dh and my dm (who I assume will need to have some part in the assessment?).
Is there anything else I can do to prepare?
