Questions About Being Diagnosed

Post Reply New Topic

So after a long debate with my parents, I have finally got a yes for diagnosis

But I have a few questions
Do they ask about family issues? Like my dad being an alcoholic?
Do they rule out other diseases before giving Asperger's diagnosis? Such as dysautonomia?
How long does the diagnosis take?

They will probably ask these questions, as they are of importance for your kind of disturbance, whatever it may be.
A diagnostic process for Aspergers could take a few hours with a psychiatrist or some meetings with a psychologist specialized in Aspergers.
That´s what I am having now.

Mine was 5 hours with a neuropsych

I dont know, if a diagnose from a psychological center counts as an official diagnose.
This is a center, that is used by the social system (kommune), and i was referred by the doctor "because of depression". That was the only way.
The social system doesn´t even want to hear from the psychiatrist, they have connected me to themselves. He, on the other hand, has not wanted to even discuss the possibility, that I might have Aspergers.
