Have you been ATOS assessed, then? I'm guessing that you have if you have been on ESA since 2011. Not everyone gets assessed by ATOS. I've been on ESA since March 2011 and my current claim isn't due to be reviewed until February 2016. I didn't have to do the Fitness for Work interview with ATOS whe...

Unfortunately, I can't offer any real advice to getting diagnosed in the UK as my route to diagnosis was so unusual. I had never even considered that I had an ASD until a Facebook friend posted a link to a version of the AQ and several of my Facebook friends all scored in the low teens at most. I to...

Hypomania. Some people don't understand that severe mania, particularly mixed states, can be incredibly brutal. On the other hand, maybe they just want a change in pace. Understandable. Quite. In addition to my Asperger's I have bipolar disorder - presenting as unipolar mania, fortunately I don't r...

I've been told that I use received pronounciation, or that I have a "cut glass" or "BBC English" accent, rather than speaking with a regional accent. This isn't something I've deliberately cultivated (although people have accused me of trying to sound posh). I find it very hard to vary my voice, in...

For just over two years I was a patient in a secure psychiatric unit owing to a run-in with the law that was initially assumed to be due to untreated bipolar disorder although my psychologist is of the view that my Aspergers (which wasn't diagnosed until I was in the unit) was the cause of most of t...

I've been sectioned three times and have never had a genuinely bad experience as a result of hospitalisation - rather the only bad time I had was because I had a manic dysphoric episode which lasted for several months (I have bipolar disorder along with my AS). Reading some people's stories I'm glad...
