nearly no cahnce of aspergers referal

Recommended Posts

I have been trying for the last few months to get a referal to dr michaels who can diagnose aspergers within hull, i have had to be referd to the the hull mental health team who have seen before regarding adhd and depression. However they are just messing me about they say i need a referal from clinician to clinician and this the only way, they have promised me i will see the head who is teh only one who can refer me but have failed to see him the last 2 times. They now say they need to review me over time and then they will consider it, however my girlfriend who has just had her dla stopped we requested the report as we was quite shocked learn this. We have received the report which states that i am well known to mental health team for adhd and aspergers of which i am obviously neither!!!, i am shocked that i have been named in my girlfriends report and as i was due to see the boss next month it is clerar they are not going to give me a referal. Is they any other avenue i can take as my father and sister are aspergers i believe very strongly i am and my gp has been very supportive however because of the above it very unlikely i will ever get the diagnose and help i need.

I would advise you to contact PALS here is a link scroll down the link to find it.

I would also contact the local MIND service who may be able to support you.

I found this service though not Hull area are still local and may have further advise for you about referal process, it may be that you have to put all of this situation in writing and take it to complaint level.

I am happy to give an update, i have been diagnosed as high functioning autistic after having gone through the disco test. It has took me many years to finally be diagnosed here in hull it is very difficult to get diagnosed especially as the mental heath team instantly indicate your not when you are intelligent !!.

 

It has been two weeks since diagnosis and its hard to get my head around.
