Sorry you wasted your time. You can't get disability due to POTS? That's how my friend got on SSDI.


No, I'm not actually diagnosed with POTS yet. There is only one specialist in all Ontario who can do a tilt table test to diagnose that, and my doctor says the wait list is 1 to 2 years 8O I figured out that I have it on my own.

I'm hoping if I can find a proper psychologist who diagnoses Asperger's in adults, perhaps I could qualify for ODSP for that, because I'm getting worse. Next week I'm going to try to get a message to my doctor (his nurse assistant is great, she can pass messages along to him) requesting a referral to someone who diagnoses ASD's in adults.

The last psych I saw I stopped going to. I couldn't tell whether she was going around in circles with me in order to keep collecting consultation fees off me, or whether she had absolutely no idea. The stupid part is that she mediates an adult autism support group now. God save them.
