Aspergers-no wonder

Post Reply New Topic

Aspergers. No wonder the nurse practitioner gave me a printout of a charity, but didn’t mention getting an assessment. I guess they would have to prioritise and a 59 year old wouldn't be high on the list.

"Getting a Diagnosis in Adults

NHS diagnostic services for adults are very patchy in Essex, and difficult to obtain."

Its only in the last few years that the world seems to have noticed that autism spectrum children....you know...dont stay children forever! Lol! ASD kids today will grow up to be ASD adults in the future, and that there were ASD children in the past who have now...guess what!....grown up to be present day ASD adults!

Thats astounding news to many in the healthcare professions!

So even here in the states its only recently that resources are opening up to ASD grown ups.

Who knows.

Maybe soon the health care profession will discover other astounding things. Like that water is WET!.
