Hi everyone, I'm new to this, probably older than all of you, female, confused, angry, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr and I swear a lot. Is swearing a no-no on here? Apparently I don't have AS but everything about me and how I feel tells me I do. Went for a diagnosis in December 2010, doctor looked at me for ten minutes, spoke to me for a while (all in the same ten minutes, of course) and then decided I wasn't and he walked out at which point I freaked out. I was promised a written report within 3-4 weeks but eight weeks later I'm still waiting. In the meantime I've been back and participated in some AS research for the hospital -why, if I don't have it?- and I'm at screaming point waiting to hear. I can't even go into what I've been diagnosed with in the past 35 years alone. I've scored very highly on every Autistic Spectrum test I've taken and my problems go back 55 years to when I was born. I feel totally in limbo and don't know who or what I am anymore and the frustration is killing me. Thanks for listening.
