Adult maybe with Aspergers. How to approach GP?

[fuzzpig]

Reposted from different topic (SEN) not sure if it's the right one but there didn't seem to be a "special needs: adults"? Anyway here it is:

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

I'm not sure if I'd get a choice anyway! The bethlem one might be better as it is specifically for adults. Either way I will do what it takes. Somehow.

Sorry being lazy and reporting from another thread:
I got the referral. I don't know if it was just luck that I had a really nice doctor (whom I've not met before) but it was actually easy. She was happy to refer me very early into the appt, and only wanted me to describe more symptoms so she could write them on the referral letter. I just gave her the list to keep instead (though I'm now panicking because I thought of more things so my list is incomplete ). After reading it she said the referral was definitely worthwhile as it is quite likely I am on the spectrum.

Referral is for Bethlem :(
