The Story of How I Fought For and Obtained My Aspergers #39; Diagnosis: A Case That Was Proven and Won.
Yes this is a long one. It was a long and agonizing fight to prove the truth. But; for any of you who are trying to pursue a diagnosis, or curious as to how to obtain it.. PLEASE watch this. Be encouraged to not give up, but be forewarned of what you may have to go through. I have put this out there because I wanted to paint a descriptive picture of the process this often involves, after your own coming-to-be realization, in this unfortunate current state of ignorance and closed-mindedness within public psychiatry. I want to forewarn people that they may be turned down, sometimes repeatedly..but it does not mean you #39;re not on the spectrum!! This is particularly true with females; I experienced major gender-bias. it #39;s also true with anyone whose personality differs from the "expected stereotype"..like an aspie who is extroverted, for example. I went through 4 psychiatrists!! 4 guys!! But I did not give up, I would not take "no" for an answer. Ultimately I proved and won my case. Educational tests and childhood footage that was reviewed..so it #39;s positive by science. Remember, general psychiatrists will NOT do those kinds of tests with you, or spend much time looking at info..only a Neuro Psychologist will. Only they are truly qualified to diagnose autism.
