NobbyNobbs Report post Posted June 19, 2009 i've finally got my official NHS diagnosis! it took all of an hour and a half for them to say that i without a doubt have AS. they dont want to do any further testing because it wouldn't tell them anything they couldn't already see. its such a relief, i just want to go back to every doctor who said 'no, you can't possibly have that' and tell them how wrong they were. apparently now i have to come up with a 5 year plan of what i want to do/achieve, and then they will help me to do those things. so i think with a massive 3 months out of education in 17 years it looks like i'm heading back to start on the path towards a career Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szxmum Report post Posted June 20, 2009 I am really, really pleased for you <'> >< My dh and I can totally empathise with your feelings towards "some" doctors. I would like to take my own ds's ADOS scores (which were so high they were nearly off the scale) back to two lady psychiatrists who we saw a year ago when things were at their worst and say "now tell me that Asperger's is just a fashion amongst parents and that my son is just shy". Anyway, good for you <'> again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeolienne Report post Posted February 18, 2012 apparently now i have to come up with a 5 year plan of what i want to do/achieve, and then they will help me to do those things. so i think with a massive 3 months out of education in 17 years it looks like i'm heading back to start on the path towards a career The only follow-up I got from my AS diagnosis ten years ago was one appointment, never mind a 5 year plan. I still haven't had much of a career. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
