I was told by a doctor at one of my audiology appointments to go to my GP and 'find out what was wrong'. She mentioned ADHD, and thought I should get checked for that, but I think Asperger's is more likely.

I'd like to know what sort of questions my GP is likely to ask me, for me to get a referal because my mother says I'll need to have 'strong points' as the system doesn't like to label people. I wrote something up about symptoms I think I have, but my mother suggested that they might ask about the way I think.

If I go in there, I'll just get nervous and not really say anything it at all but I might do better if I have something in front of me.

If you had a late diagnosis what sort of questions did you get asked?

I think my diagnosis was largely based on my parents' and teachers' observations about me.

With that being said, I think you should ask this question in the General Autism Discussion forum. The people there might be more helpful.
