Living in Australia with mental disorders

Post Reply New Topic

I just wanted to say reading through some of these you seem normal to me, So I must have a little aspie personal traits, I think my psychologist diagnosed me wrong when i was young so what are the best mental health retreats around Australia that are beneficial.

Hi Scott, welcome to WrongPlanet. I'm an Aussie Aspie from Sydney.

Have you looked at any of the scientific tests that may help you work out where you are on the spectrum? A link to a number of good or interesting tests is {here}.

I don't know of any "mental health retreats" in Australia for Aspies. I am not even sure what you mean by that term. There are a few mutual support groups for adults with Asperger's, although I have never attended one. I have been to a day-long seminar run by one of the support groups in Sydney, and that was great (I wanted to hear their visiting speaker, who I knew about from the Internet).

I am seeing a psychologist in Sydney - there are a couple of clinics around Sydney that specialise in autism spectrum disorders.

There are Asperger's or autism spectrum support groups in each state in Australia.

Where would i paste my results on wp? And I have discovered retreats set up for aspie ect, I just wanted to know what ones are the best before I fly over too one the one thing that has me thinking hard about is staying out there for a month or more, hmmm I am looking more deeply into it.

Welkome to WP

Mick
