Second Thoughts On Diagnosis!

Post Reply New Topic

Well saying that every Doctor in the UK was the Paragon of Virtue and Qualification was already so utterly ridiculous nothing I said or could say can even come close to such a unmitigated stupid and naive statement.

Sorry but you have no credibility in this discussion after such a statement.

Yes I am not in the UK but my Doctor graduated at the very top of his Class from the University of Edinburgh. Oh yeah I almost forgot most of the top graduates in Medicine come to our poor little Backward America.


I guess the best want to practice where health care is so much less advanced, leaving the rest who couldn't cut it at home to practice there in your splendid super advanced medical units.

America Ranks number 1 if you exclude those without health insurance and those who refuse to buy it for themselves. The actual care is all that counts and if you are willing to pay for it America has the best bar none.

It's great to have teachers but you know what they say about those who can and those who teach. When we get the top I don't care what happens to the scrubs.

As far as I have been able to discern this little piece of witty wisdom is ultimately true and bears little relation to the fact that the best and brightest in the medical world come to the United States to practice.

Because America is where the money is... I'm not sure there is any high moral or ethical grounds at work here. American medicine is about the money. Period.

Better $400 than the 16-thousand dollar psychiatric hospitalization I learned of my diagnosis through! And to this day i still have doubts about being an aspie! The fact that I tend to be trusting of other people and the constant complaints about physicians in my area send me mixed messages, and the thing my therapist beleives-that theres a little bit of AS in everyone makes me even more confused. So I can understand your apprehension about all this: Nobody wants to find out they've been living a lie-which is exactly what I feel everytime I get something "right" socially! And there are more times than not that I'm certain that I have AS- because NTs do not meltdown or stim in public while I constantly have tantrums and will bob or vibrate in place when i become impatient on lines and in quiet, boring places. NTs can be picky eaters, but their list of dislikes probably only spans 3 or 4 different foods, while my list is 15 or more items long because certain textures make me gag! And NTs can tolerate loud noises better than I can-I have an uncle who can fire a gun with no hearing protection and not wince while the sound of a vaccum cleaner or a fire siren makes me want to cover my ears. And NTs dont seem to be bothered by the feel of clothes rubbing over dry skin or hangnails while the mere thought makes me cringe! Do any of these things describe you? If they do, you probably have some form of Autism, if not AS than probably PDD-NOS, which is autism that fits into none of the other criteria. Rest assured, Even if you arent Autistic, people will not see you any differently- I've come to understand that Aspies are excellent judges of character despite their lack of nonverbal know-how, and if you've been friendly to us as a self-diagnosed individual, than you'll be no less friendly as an NT!
