After a bunch of craziness I end up in a different town with a different mental health system... After having a near nervous breakdown a lady from local mental health says "do you have Aspergers? You are very similar to others I know with it." I explained I wasn't diagnosed and have them pursue that as much as possible.

After 10 years will I be taken seriously? Stay tuned to find out!! !

I feel frustration ahead

You sounded like you had Asperger's all along. I know what it is like to not be taken seriously for years on end and the frustration and anger that causes. I am glad you finally found someone who "put their listening ears on" as Judge Judy would say, but it sucks that it's taken so damn long. Ignoring patients is what the western medical way is all about. You just have to wade through the sea of incompetence till you find that one doctor or healthcare worker who will listen.
