You would be spending much more on medical insurance if you had an official diagnosis.

But if you want one, you need to find someone who is experienced in diagnosing AS in adults. Most psychiatrists specialize in general psychiatry, which means they usually handle depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia.

sorry i have been spazzing out cus this took too long. i am still working on my story but its hard and my thoughts i have so much to say. i am just tired of people not hearing me. no more. i lost my mind thsi weekend and im not done there was a really mean dr too who humilated me. i will talk about that too....but i am very functional now so i was enlisting my facebook peeps to remember me in school and send me stories about my melt downs.

i am starting to get good response, thsi community just got educated becuase my son will not be in the closet the schools already training the children. but the schools understaffed and we cant get a TA. you should know i get my age wrong often, and the time frames so sometimes i say 8 and sometimes 10 for my age. my memory seems timeless to me. someone is gonna diagnose me. i live in Canada and i am tired of crack slipping sorry im manic my memories vivid so doing thsi traumatised me some. i had a lot of secrets and disabilities i was hiding. if my sons going to come out then his mother will too he will not do it alone.

i have much more to say, but we are driving halfway across saskatchewan again this week for drs which is good but i asked to be diagnosed too. many times , ppl say i never ask for help yes i do but they dont listen. they are gonna listen.

sorry i said hi then went crazy lol.

when i say money at medical up here i mean travel costs. i travel between two provinces trying to get help. they had me in the research section in the 1982-1988 area for years. i was drugged up poked prodded and harrased i felt lol. we had every test known to man. tubes in my ears, and no diagnosis but they diagnosed my bro with adhd from teh waiting room. my bro is a musicion plays by ear never needed a lesson and doesnt read sheet music but he can play anything he hears. i have no musical talent lol.

im feeling better now becuase i did something. i have been isolated for 3 years and i am regressing...i love my children and they amuse me so much but i remember and that scares me i will not have my kids repeat my past i want them to have teh best chances in life and to get their talents developed.

i want to be active i see a need here but my past traps me and keeps me afraid. no more secrets. i dont have all the stories up yet. and i will get to the parts about it i LOVE...i dont want a cure i just want to operate at maximum efficieny. they cant spot females here. they cant spot males either. and i had a total freekout in front of an expert who told me teh school just wanted funding. our doctors offices and schools should ALL be educated the numbers are not small if it was an allergy to peanuts it would be taken seriously. i feel better now. it was hard but i feel better now. they are not going to get away with treating my kids like they treated me. no. lol sorry but my kids are actually looking forward to diagnosis i have explained everything in a way that highlights teh benifits....now i started with my dark side becuase i need ppl to remember here and help me get diagnosed...and every other kid in thsi town that needs too. and this province. in canada thsi is unaceptble to me. we have free healthcare becuase my aunt and grandma helped put it into law....i too helped build hospitals and we have always donated money to teh health centers here. we are not rich people. but we were active in teh community then trying to build services. so. i wont acept this any longer lol. im sorry too many drs refused to help me. i have a right to medical care and i demand it. lol
