Wow! In the grocery store?! !!

Several doctors here in our town have even tried to tell an autistic friend of mine that it's not recommended because it's addictive.

I'll put in a good word for you with the local sheriff if you get caught! Lol.

Nae bother! (No problem) I'm getting melatonin at the moment to help me sleep, as a man over 55. But this is limited to 13 weeks. The psych is now aware of this and the fact that, without a (full?) diagnosis, this prescription will stop. The melatonin has revolutionised my sleep pattern so I'm keen ...

Thanks AspieUtah. I think he meant the diagnosis would have a qualification that it was done without childhood evidence which cannot be produced. In relation to the person he cited, he said that was enough for that person. In relation to me, he seemed to indicate that if it wasn't enough for me, a f...

Well, I'm just back from the assessment. It was pretty uncomfortable. Lasted 90 minutes and the psych was quite full on, giving me loads of info at the start, sitting right opposite me in my personal space, no handshake until I offered one and I got overloaded. Also he told me he had already prepare...

Thank you, Aspie Utah. Must be early there!

I don't really have photos or school records but I have a ton of memories I've noted down so at least I've got that.

It's quite a thing to go over your childhood at this distance and realise how it all fits. Just need to convince the psych.

Will do, Heidi. Thanks.

I'm told it will be 4 -6 appointments a month apart so it could be some time!

But, yes. It's the one time when I just have to be myself rather than the person I've been masking all these decades!

Thanks so much for the replies - I should have done this a while ago but have just been constantly overloaded. I've got my first assessment with the psych tomorrow so I really appreciate the encouragement from Sheffield. :) I'm in Ayrshire. I feel like it's the test of a lifetime. Will I pass?! Lol....

Today I've been told by the NHS that it's unlikely I can get a diagnosis without someone to provide evidence about my childhood. I'm 57 and there isn't anyone who can do that. It's made me very agitated after what I've gone through in the last two months, realising this and getting evidence from peo...
