hi,
I am new here, joined yesterday.
I suspect strongly that I am Aspergic, and have many of the components, but am uncertain whether
to get a formal diagnosis.
I am already undergoing therapy (for something else), which was triggered by a particularly bad depressive episode.
I suspect the depression was made all the worse by many peripheral factors, many of which
orbit around social difficulties, anxieties, and isolation.
Aspergers is something that certainly chimes with my broader perspectives.
I am reading Tony Attwoods book on Aspergers, and the main phrase that struck me was "intellectualising emotions".
Anyway, less of the rambling. Are there any on-line methods of getting some basic diagnostic?
How do I approach my GP and broach the subject?
thanks
