Well, hello there.
I just recently found this... lets just say extremely active board. I have been reading a lot of topics, and its just like reading about my life.
So i thought id just register and say hi.
Im not diagnosed with aspergers.. yet.
I have been seeing a shrink for 3-4 months by now. I didnt like my shrink in the first place. But my future life depends on the fact that its proven that something is wrong with me, so that i can get some help with the issues i have.
The shrink at the first session said that i either was asperger or NLD. He thus wanted to see me for another session. Next few times he had a weird behaviour. He looked down on me, questioned my intelligence despite the fact several other doctors have documented that i seem extremely intelligent.
My schools wants documentation that i cant complete my exames hand-written. And i WILL fail if i cant use a computer. My handwriting is so bad despite a lot of training.
The shrink said he would write a documentation to the school despite the fact he couldnt give me a diagnosis, as he wasnt sure. He said that if he gave me a "test", it wouldnt be positive.
His behaviour in general wasnt very pleasent at all. My mom just told me he did it to remove any facade i might have put up.
My mom went to my last session with the shrink to hear what he thought so far. And he knew that my mom had a depression and was extremely vulnerable. And i saw him abuse my mother emotionally. She asked questions which were very relevant, but he kept saying he couldnt answer them, as he couldnt set a diagnose. Yet he stated several times that i AM different, and if i seeked another shrink or clinic, they would likely diagnose me as asperger.
She asked about different things. Yet he kept answering that he couldnt give me a diagnose, and it was her who was stupid and obviously couldnt understand it.
She staid humble. And the next day she called him to ask for him to write a documentation for my school, that he thought i couldnt make it like he told me he would.
He then started again abusing her. And he then said he wouldnt give any documentation, but basically that its all my own fault that i have problems.
Now, i have to wait for months to get a new shrink. Theres only 2 shrinks in my region. So if the next one doesnt work out, im screwed. And now we are writing to the health inspector, as this guy is dangerous to his patients.
Thats my story. All in all extremely messy. All that for getting help when i know i am different and have problems.
