• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

i am surprised by how little some of the doctors & health professionals seem to know about A.S . Some do not seem to know or understand anything about HFA. I have found that some teachers seem to understand abit more, though, especially if they have taught children with A.S. I think that it may be covered in their teacher training.

When i mentioned to my doctor that i thought i have autism/ Asperger's Syndrome he said; " well you seem intelligent enough to me ! " I prayed that God willing i might be able to get a diagnosis, and went back again to see my doctor . This time he seemed more understanding and refered me for a diagnosis. I saw a specialist in autism and he did diagnose me (with Asperger's Syndrome). Praise The Lord ! Prayer changes things , and God is all powerful ! I am very thankful to God for my diagnosis.
