Adult - possible Aspergers/HFA - how to approach this with GP?

[fuzzpig]

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but after this thread I have decided I definitely need to see the GP as a lot of what I am dealing with seems to fit Aspergers in particular. Could be wrong of course but I need to know either way IYSWIM, as I really can't continue the way I am :(

Have a GP appointment next week, it is a big surgery with frequent locums and the nicest doctor there has left (grrrr) so I have no idea who I'm seeing

I tried the NAS helpline twice today but they are short staffed. Will try again through the week but I am posting here to see if anyone has any advice about adults getting referrals as I have heard it is really difficult.

I have taken the Baron-Cohen AQ test and am starting to get a list of reasons but I don't know what else to do. I'm really nervous, talking about myself to a doctor is a horrible experience for me at the best of times and I am terrified they will not take me seriously and turn me away.

Thanks

Hi fuzz, I don't think this is the best place for you thread, because this board is really quiet sometimes.

I know you are an adult but you might be better posting on the Special needs children board because there are loads of mums overs there who suspect that they are on the spectrum. And they are really friendly

Also try to Read Tony Atwoods, Complete guide to aspergers. It is a really good book but not to heavy and you can just pick bits out that interest you.

Have to go out now but hope yoou post on the other board and I will pop back later.

Good luck

Ok will repost thanks :)
