#asd #nvld #dyspraxia Thoughts on pursuing a diagnosis.

Given the lack of help for adults with ASD/dyspraxia/NVLD and my age I do wonder whether pursuing things would be worthwhile. I’m not sure it’s really worth it on a practical level.

On wanting a more accurate picture of how I am , well that’s more worthwhile. To be able to shove it down the throats of an ignorant and often unintelligent mental health system that there’s a reason I am as I am, and it’s not down to being awkward,demanding and troublesome,would be immensely satisfying. The drawback is my distaste is directed at the mental health trust,in its various incarnations, I was under for nearly 40 years. I’ve only been under this one since September.

My thought is that it would be worthwhile if that meant you could get treatment for those issues. If not, it’s not going to be very helpful, and it’s not going to prove anything to the various as$holes you have encountered in your life.

I agree with @twinklestars… You are over 60 years old, would this change something?

On a practical level given the lack of help and support and my age then probably not.
