| Obviously i can't really say, the people on here will have a better knowledge of that. I do know when the specialist who started assessing me for aspergers at the time used a test called the "sally anne test". A really basic test that i thought should have been used for someone much younge... |

| You need to explain that to them when you see someone. If you write things down as they come to mind, and have it prepared when you have your sessions you can show them. It will help them to understand better. Also, if you don't feel you get on with the person you can always ask for someone else (ac... |

| i don't know. I assume there is child assessment people near me. I haven't looked. First step is the doctors if i so wish to persue it this time. If its only social anxiety, then its had a real impact on my life from day one. And its seen as, oh that's easily cured. Well its not for me. Well. Here ... |

| strawberrypie - You have mentioned a number of conditions such as social anxiety, depression, selective mutism, complex trauma, delayed language absorption, disassociation disorder and you are looking for an accurate diagnosis. But the problem is that many of these conditions either are comorbid wi... |

| If NHS provides your healthcare I understand it is just a matter of lining up a doctor with the right expertise and waiting in line for an evaluation. Which is a lot more practical than in the USA where a diagnosis as an adult will easily run 1000 euros out of pocket. A US health insurance policy t... |

| I think it is good to step back and ask questions because one can understand things. I think if I had done this in the past my life would be different now. Having said that, I would not want to change my past though many parts of it I would never want to go through again. I mean. School and especia... |

| I did get a second opinion with another psychologist, but they didn't specialise in aspergers. They said i didn't have aspergers, but if i went for an assessment i'd probably get diagnosed, so if i didn't want the diagnosis not to go. . So ...Since I Dr. Naturalpliactic declare that you don't have ... |

| I don't think its dissociation. I think its anxiety more than anything. I guess i'll go for an assessment or i won't. Like mentioned only a professional can make a decision as to a diagnosis. Right or wrong. I am fully aware people are talking to me at the time and i do take in some things they say.... |

| i have visited many anxiety forums and can relate to them. I do believe social anxiety is a big issue in my life and has always been. I've never heard of Executive Functioning disorder? I'll look it up. There's another thing i did in school. I walked around the playground alone and reenacted my mum ... |

| They mentioned alot of things. Because i didn't carry on being assessed with the specialist and didn't get to find out if i had a diagnosis, they'd put in my files something on the lines of, in their opinion its either aspergers or selective mustism. Everyone i've seen since says they can see signs ... |

| I also saw a trainee therapists and cbt therapists for social anxiety. One said i didn't have aspergers because they put a fan on in the room to test if i raised my voice over it and i did. The other one who was very nice and helpful, said they didn't think i had it because i was doing really well w... |

| Thanks for the replies everyone. I never considered asd before, until a few years ago when i saw a psychologist because i was very socially anxious and suffering depression. They happened to specialise in aspergers and were convinced i had it. However i never wanted to have a diagnosis and felt it w... |

| Ok. I just thought looking back at my childhood that doesn't sound like a normal behaviour. If someone is playing with a group of kids their age at school, surely they would feel like part of the group and naturally join in the next day, and that is the start of friendships in school. However, i jus... |
