    Hi! Not sure if I belong here?

    I got mine on the NHS after seeing my GP. Had to wait quite a few months though. If you can afford it, private's probably better/quicker. I can understand the need for a diagnosis. I would still like one but my experience has caused me to lose some faith in the value of it. Would be interested...

    Hi! Not sure if I belong here?

    Hi Steve. Thanks, I hope you managed to get somewhere with a diagnosis or that things are generally looking up. :) I haven't logged on here in years.

I watch others interacting and...

    Hi! Not sure if I belong here?

    Hi guys, thanks for the welcome and support. This seems like a good place. Hi Holly, I can relate to your experiences somewhat (though I haven't had exactly similar ones). I have a thing where I don't like feeling air under my fingernails. If the skin gets pulled too far back I have to keep...

    Hi! Not sure if I belong here?

    Hello! I have suspected that I am on the spectrum for years now. I once saw a psychiatrist and he said that my language skills were too well developed and IQ was too high, and concluded that I wasn't. However, all my own (admittedly limited) research suggests that I have Aspergers. So I've...
