After seeing a nurse @ my local surgery last wk about a different matter, I asked her if I had to speak to my GP about being referred for testing as to whether I have a form of autism or not

The same day day, I had a phone call back from my GP & he's referred me to the mental health team for this as both Mum & I feel that I do suffer from it

Hello HeroOfChaos

Thank you for your message. Perhaps you could let us know how you feel about being contacted by your doctor referring you to the mental health team?

It sounds as good if your Mum is supportive, this can be very helpful.

There are two forums within health care unlocked that relate to autism: Autism support and Asperger syndrome.

You may also be able to look at the topics and pinned posts for more information.

Do let us know how you get on

Best wishes
