Well I'm in France, where most psychiatrists and psychologists ignore everything about autism. To say everything, I even told him that I defined myself as autistic, even not being really autistic. This should ring the bell of any psychatrist I guess.
f**** up country. Move out.
Well, why not. But there is hope. I suppose there is about one psychologist that knows about autism by département, and also one place to do an evaluation. I've contacted them, but for now, my teeth are hurting terribly. I'm taking some codeine. After that, I may get my diagnosis, after all.
See the problem is that you must know about autism to get the diagnosis. If you don't know what you've got, the psychiatrists won't find it. I'm saved because I know about Asperger. But for people who don't know, or don't want to know, that's another story.
Seriously, what's the deal with that country, everyone knows about autism here, so does in any other country, I've never ever met a psychiatrist that didn't had a clue what autism was. Autism is a very known human disorder in western world.
