FlutterBy Report post Posted March 11, 2010 Hi, I've just joined this forum I need someone to talk, I'm lonely and stressed! I'm 21 y/o female from west m'lands. i have a very strong suspicion i have asperger's syndrome although not been officialy diagnosed. i'v had mental health issues in the past and saw an occupational therapist for quite a while then a psychiatrist who put me on some pills i realy didn't need! anyway the OT mentioned autism and asperger's syndrome but she didn't know who to refer me to and she couldn't do the assessment because she works as part of the mental health team and autism is not a mental health issue (too much red tape!!). i'm still waiting for a referral. anyway justed wanted to talk to others who know what i'm goin through.

Tally Report post Posted March 11, 2010 Hello, and welcome to the forum. I am 28, with a diagnosis of Asperger's. You're lucky to have the OT on your side supporting your need for an assessment. I hope she can find the right person to refer you onto soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
