I have suspected aspergers for while. But thought I was probably kidding myself.
Finally got the courage up last year (December) and had a 1 off, private appointment with a clinical psychologist, who did a report for me but said I'd either need to pay or go NHS route for possible diagnosis,,which could be difficult because I have early childhood emotional trauma which could have left me with the struggles I have today.
She sent a copy of her report to my GP, who agreed to refer me. Got an appointment through 2 weeks from my GP appointment, which was today (appointment was for a month later). It was a 1 hour appointment so I was thinking it was an initial one which could result in me being told I didn't have it or I would go on a waiting list.
Nope! It was THE appointment. Saw a psychiatrist who said it may need more than the 1 hour. It didn't (possibly the psychologists report helped) and he said I am not autistic. But he said I have aspergers due to my social struggles and my emotional immaturity when trying to describe what a friend is and knowing what someone is feeling. I said if it's obvious, like crying, then they are sad, but if they aren't crying, then how do you know they are sad 
. I also had to do the AQ test again. He didn't tell me my score but had written down my previous scores of 38.
I'm honestly shocked. It seemed too quick. We didn't go into a huge amount, mainly social stuff and early development (which was fine which is why no autism diagnosis which I wasn't expecting anyway).
