I went to two doctors today, just had to get a simple form signed to say i am ok to work around kids....been working and studying my diploma for about 2 years so should be fine yeah???! !!
The first doctor looked at me like i was scary freak psycho and said i better come back later when a different doctor who has misdiagnosed me was in....this doctor had written a bunch of misinformed stuff about autism on my personal file making it look like i had all weird stuff wrong with me.
I was like no thanks.....and left...went to a different doctor who rang the first one and she said cos i seen two doctors in one day i was like Coo Coo.....nutty....I got upset, and cried, at them prejudging me and they dont even look at me or ask me about the stuff the misdiagnosed doctor had wrote......They new doctor signed the form but was trying to talk me out of completing my college course cos he said i cry too much and cant handle pressure....even after i told him i have a phobia about doctors and doctors offices....i have gotten the highest marks at college and at my placements and know full well i am good capable worker, i was just having a bad day at the doctors and they act like that i am always crying and that i am no good and i am dumb.....
I felt sooooo sad after and cried more as my belief that doctors are here to help and be nice was shattered................

Sorry to hear about what happened. I've been sent on a wild goose chase over the last month in order to get my meds. The cost of it is far too expensive, and our healthcare system is a joke. So I've been from one hospital to another, waiting in long queues and then getting told I should go to another hospital or clinic. Finally yesterday I managed to get my meds, but I could only do it with the help of a family connection who is a doctor. I don't know this doctor well, but he is very rude.
It seemed as if his attitude was that of contempt towards my psychological condition. I don't know if this is just his normal behaviour, but I get the feeling that people in my community are not very sympathetic to any type of psychological abnormalities. You are seen as a lesser person. I know certain family laugh at me because of my anxious/avoidant behaviour. But not everyone (doctors or otherwise) are the same. You have to shrug off what they say, and try your best.
