| Thank you for the advice. Turns out they do not handle ASD at all here but I got a referral, which is the good news. The bad news is they charge $2175. They do not do payment plans and they only take military insurance. They did give me a name for another place that MAY BE MORE AFFORDABLE. apparentl... |

| I got an appointment and I am going for an assessment tomorrow morning! I am so scared. I am not sure if I should mention to the doctor or not that I had a childhood diagnosis, that my sister confirmed to me she was aware off, before my mother went postal and destroyed my medical records. (That is a... |

When you say that you hear voices, are they coming from people, places, or things?
Like a normal person hears voices when talked to? |

| I haven't been here in a while, but found out some things of late that have sent me looking for an official diagnosis in the us. I have a childhood diagnosis of Pddnos, and my older sister confirmed it. Furthermore, she told me the reason I have no paper trail is because my mother burned my medical ... |

This is why there is a hell. For people like this.
I do not believe in hell, but I do believe in universal justice. At one point they are sure as hell going to pay for that. |

| Well of the little that I know, I got a letter from my old doctor in California that stated that I was unable to work due to psychiatric reasons, but she did not mention my PDDNOS diagnosis. I was able to get food stamps that way. Not sure how everything else works, because I got denied for SSI twice. |
