ds had an appointment with the hospital psych this morning,halfway thru she said i want to talk to your mum now, we started talking when ds was out of room,she starts asking me questions. After a couple of mins i said "arent we meant to be talking about michael" she said she wanted some background on my childhood, at the end of it she said i had done a good job with my social skills as girls can hide it. I said hide what? and she just looked at me and said i,ll see whats happening with your referral, i realised she knows, she knows i have AS, so i told her what the gp said and she was astounded that the gp had tried to brush off my self-referral,AND that my gp said AS is not genetic-she couldnt believe it, she said "i see many similarities between you and michael" and she asked me about obsessions,routines etc. So at the end of it i feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulder-that someone understands and doesnt think that im making it up, or depressed because im bored like my family does, sorry to go on but in a way i feel vindicated and that i can go on with my life, oh and she said i dont need AD,S i need help with anxiety and managing. So hopefully i wont have to wait long now
