Even if the venue is standing only, if you let them know that you need seats then by law they have to provide them for you. I really enjoy live music and have never had any problems (or even had to provide proof of why) requesting a seat at standing only concerts. If you let them know more details about why you require seating then hopefully they'll be able to seat you away from the standing crowd so you have more space - in the past I've been given seats right at the front, right at the back, in a box and on a balcony.

Hello, I haven't posted much since I signed up a little while ago but I've recently received an appt to be seen at Cambridge Lifespan Asperger Syndrome Service (CLASS) next month. Has anyone got any advice regarding what to expect, any preparation I need to do, anything I need to think about it advance, anything I need to take with me...? Thank you, Molly

I'm really pleased your daughter has got a diagnosis and is finding it helpful. I'm 20 but can certainly relate to much of what you said about your daughter and her difficulties in the initial post. I'm seeking a diagnosis at the moment. Molly x

Just a quick update. I had an appointment with a psychiatrist today and I asked her about getting a diagnosis. She said that she didn't think I had Aspergers, but I wasn't sure of her judgement so she's going to refer me on to someone else who will be able to diagnose me or tell me it's not Aspergers.

I don't have any advice, but just wanted to wish you good luck. I'm seeing a psychiatrist on Monday and plan to ask her about getting a diagnosis because although my GP was supportive he doesn't have any experience of referring adults on to get a diagnosis. I'll let you know how I get on. Take care, Molly

Thanks for the suggestions - I've taken the Autism Quotient and Empathy Quotient tests, looked through the link Karen provided and made some notes including how I fit into the triad of impairments. Sorry to hear that your GP appt went so badly K, what a shame. If you make a new post on the forums asking what to do next then you might receive some advice. Sorry to hear that you don't think you got the best out of your GP appt last week yorkshireT. Molly x

I've taken the plunge and booked myself a GP appt for Tue to discuss getting a diagnosis of Aspergers. How should I prepare for this appt? Do I need to make some notes to help me explain why I think I have Aspergers? Do I need to research where I could get a diagnosis? Thanks, Molly x

Today I made a GP appt for next Tuesday (a week tomorrow), which I'm planning to use to ask about getting a diagnosis. Molly x

Thank you for the welcome Kathryn Molly x

Thanks for the reply Adam Molly x

Hello I'm Molly and I'm 20. For many years I've strongly suspected I have Aspergers, but I'm only now starting to think about seeking a diagnosis. I've always struggled with friendships but it's really getting me down at the moment. I'm not sure what help a diagnosis would be but I'd like to hope that by learning a bit more about how Aspergers affects me then I might be able to learn how to deal with it better. I'm joining this forum in the hope of finding some people who understand how I feel. Take care, Molly x
