Anyone with Autism? I am trying to get a diagnosis; if your GP refused to even contemplate you having Autism, and just told you that you have acute anxiety and should move on....would you accept this or go private for a diagnosis? Thanks for answers, can anyone tell me how many sessions it might take to diagnose Asperger's with a private psychiatrist?

From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like autism or Asperger's to me. I don't really know why you're wanting this specific diagnosis. When, most people with (any kind of) problems go to doctors with their symptoms, the doctor figures out what they should/shouldn't be diagnosed with.

Anyway, if you really Asperger, you would have many of the following symptoms: - Problems with the non-verbal communication, gestures, tone of voice, posture, facial expressions - Stuttering and hesitating / difficulty with small talk - Logical and objective view on all that difficult to see how things come across (from elsewhere s) of view - Intensive (or compulsion) interest / fascination with a narrow / specific subject - Knowledge / interest in a particular subject area without regard for its proper context - Away / deep / up-in-the-clouds thinking - Delayed communication (ie, took longer to talk / make / etc) - Hypersensitivity (ie can not tolerate noise or bright light) - Ritual routines / compulsive traits / can not know with what is expected to finish - Odd behavior / habits / thinking / - Excessive daydreaming / in their own world.

There are probably some other symptoms I missed, but anxiety / depression is often a result of having social difficulties. People with such symptoms fail to fit in - they often experience bullying and rejection and therefore can go through anger, depression, bitterness, social anxiety, and the like.

Bottom line is, if the only symptoms you have are social anxiety / depression, then you are far better off dealing with those issues as they are. Being diagnosed with something like autism has major drawbacks.

This is a biggest , including over 30,000 info items resource for all special needs, including autism, down syndrome and other disabilities. The evidence of social anxiety or depression are far better to address than being diagnosed with autism.
