was told a few days ago that all my symptoms fit aspergers and that they are going to tell my doctors to treat me as having aspergers but cant diagnose since the people was living with when was 3 are dead does this mean that i am diagnosed since the place trying to help me only deals with kids and never diagnosed an adult

a couple of my doctors seem to think so but others dont who is right see have been diagnosed for years with all the symptoms of aspergers and at the same time was always said what dont have and this was done before aspergers existed

Okay, your post was a little difficult to understand. I'm still not sure what the second paragraph is about. Here's what I read it as:

[quote="jamieg"] I was told, a few days ago, that all my symptoms fit Asperger's. The Autism Specialists are going to tell my doctors to treat me as having Asperger's, even though I can't get a formal diagnosis. This is due to the fact that the people I was living with when I was 3 have died. Does this mean that I am diagnosed?[/q]

Sounds like you can not get a formal diagnosis due to not knowing if the symptoms existed when you were a child. Basically the Specialists are going to tell your Docs that you fit the bill for AS, but due to a technicality can get a diagnoses. You might get a PDD-NOS diagnosis depending on the Docs.

i did get a doctor to write on an application for services the name aspergers but she was not wanting to say the name trying to tell me that just trying to have something and dont know what calling it aspergers would do but the autism center here did say that all my symptoms fit aspergers perfectly and all tries by multiple doctors in the past to force my symptoms to fit anything else failed

just trying to take all my symptoms and call it by the condition that makes them so can stop people from picking and choosing the symptom they like and force me to fit something and when they keep trying to force me to fit something they always fail and then go right back to saying i have problems but they dont know what it is and dont know what to do so good luck

around here you cant get help with having just symptoms you need to call them by something it seems like people here are bias against anything autism related and so getting them to say the name is almost impossible
