    Hiya

    I was originally diagnosed with ADD last year, I'm 46, though this year I saw a psychiatrist who has overridden that ADD diagnosis and said I definitely have Asperger's. It's all a bit confusing, on the rating scale that was used a score of 65 puts a person on a likely ASD, I scored 229, according to the psychiatrist it's nearly as high as can be... The psychiatrist said that my ADD was wrongly diagnoses by a clinical psychologist last year, though it is possible that I may have ADD too, though most of the symptoms of ADD that I have can be more or less explained by features of Asperger's. The only thing is I don't have any special interests, ones that have a significant impact on my life, so this could explain the inattentive ADD element Idk. I'm meant to be going to a one stop drop in support centre for ASD people, the psychiatrist is 'sending' me there, I've looked on the webpage and it seems a lot of the users of that service have more support needs than me, I have a full time job, I'm married, drive a car etc..... So I'm to present myself there and say 'Dr xyz' sent me'. I can't think what they're going to do or say, I feel like I need some medication to help me to manage my emotions and focus, I'm really unsure what use this drop in place is going to be for me, It's going to feel so weird walking in and saying 'Hi, I have Asperger's syndrome, erm the doc sent me'
