Hi everyone. I think I might have learning disability , autism spectrum. Or autistic. Or are they the same, people bully me and take advantage of that and say I've done things to upset people and I havnt ment to upset people. The way I talk to people might be harsh to others but really don't mean to come across harsh. My spelling is terrible with the d, b, g, I, e. So I used spell checker. My whole family and friends think I need an assessment to find out what is wrong with me. They say I'm not normal. Ive had one to ones when I was at school fright from reception all the way through even secondary school. I was never assessed. Can any one help me where to go and hmget help. I've spoke Ln to the doctors and they keep saying there is nothing wrong me me. But the different between a doctor and an asseser are 2 different people so my docotor shouldn't be saying that to me he should help me.

My mental health is going slowly and I'm getting really angry at people that take the mick out of me and bully me, I don't get jokes, they say things I havnt even said and people start to believe that.

Please help. I'm reaching out for any help anyone can give me even ifs it's advise.

Me writing this is from experience.

As I used to work in a collage. Just thought I would say that.

Thank you for reading.

Hi bless you I’m very sad to hear how your feeling first and foremost and so sorry that people are being unkind and taking advantage of you. I would speak to your family and ask them to help you to arrange a private assessment but it will cost quite a bit of money to do that so maybe you could speak to the college where you worked and speak to there student support services to see if they can help at all. I also feel your G P should be doing much more to help and support you. Maybe you could go back to see them with a family member and get them to support you at an appointment and they can help the g p understand what they see and their concerns. Also the autistic society maybe able to suggest how to move forward with this so you can get some help and support or the Mencap helpline as they may have some suggestions you could follow up. I do hope some of these suggestions are helpful to you it must be incredibly difficult and don’t think of yourself as not normal who is and actually what does normal mean anyway. You may just see life differently that’s all it’s no crime it doesn’t make you a bad person and it doesn’t give anyone the right to be unkind or to take advantage of you so please remember that, so try not to put yourself down and work towards a solution and surround yourself with those who care about you.

Hi I have Austic Spectrum and dyspraxia and I was not fully diagnosised until I was seventeen . But the majority of special education teachers that helped me out in school were good. Unfortunately there were incidents where I had to fight to make sure that things were done correctly when I was having extra for exams in University . I'd advise you to get a diagnosis with your family but also try and defend your disability as much as as possible don't feel ashamed of what you are or allow people to make you feel ashamed if there is one thing I have learnt is don't listen to the people who say that you can not do something yes it may take longer for you to accomplish it then other people but can do whatever you desire to do !
