Some progress today.
Saw a mental health nurse at my GP today, and after going though a few questions and some tests
(I did a AQ10 test and this clearly tended to support the Aspergers likelihood, no surprise there. )
It was also mentioned that I have a touch of speech apraxia.
I have been referred to the outpatients of my hospital see a psychologist to see if have Aspergers. It should take around 6 weeks for this to happen.
I also saw someone from the National Autistic Society n the UK in work and they made some suggestions that my help me. Work seem happy to help as long as it doesn't impact anyone else. Maybe it is me being cynical but I am not sure how much they are helping me is due to trying to help me and how much to ensure they are covering their backsides in their legal responsibilities.
Probably a bit of both, and I must be prepared to go along with things and not be unfair to others.
I hope for continued good fortune in this journey.
