Not sure where to put this...

When i was a young child i had some development issues and was tested for aspergers syndrome but they came to the conclusion that i didnt have it but could never pin point where my issues came from.
now into my 20's they havent really ever gone away so im beginning to wonder if i need to be re assessed. does anyone know the best way to go about organising assesment for that kind of thing in the melbourne area

TIA - John

I would start with your GP.

He is in the best spot to refer you to anything that might be able to help with that. :yes:

Just wanted to let you know that my DP was informally diagnosed as having Asperger's when he was 17, its a scary diagnoses, but its no where near as bad as it first seems! :hugs: PM me if you would like someone to chat to about it and I can give you his email, or vice versa!

Its unlikely that you would meet the DSM-IV criteria now, as problems tend to reduce over time.
But there is a spectrum from geeky to profound autism.
There is a lot of info on the web. Maybe start here:

Did you see the recent Catalyst story on Aspergers?
