I am an adult currently trying to get an assessment to diagnose the AS that I am almost certain I have, but want that professional to confirm, in order to help me understand myself, and problems that I have better, and to gain the knowledge and support I would like in order to make positive changes in my life, mental health, and relationships. I know that I am not the only one, by far! Such a service would benefit so many people. Please.

I am currently battling with getting help and diagnosis of Aspergers through my doctor. I have struggled with depression since I was a child because of my social difficulties and feel very alone and helpless because of this. A firm diagnosis will give me the piece of mind and closure I need so I can accept, deal and move on with my life and understand myself and the rest of the world. Where is the support that is greatly needed for people with Aspergers?

My husband and son have Aspergers, only recently identified by ourselves. I have a patient I have just diagnosed but really need formal support for this diagnosis and it is not obvious to me where to get this from!

I was recently diagnosed with asperger syndrome and cannot believe that while I live in one of the biggest and most developed cities in the UK I was forced to travel to Sheffield for my diagnosis and any other appointments regarding this or support. With the number of asperger sufferers and the potential numbers just waiting to be diagnosed, in my opinion there is no excuse for us having no official facilities provided for us.

It is disgusting that we have no where locally to help us get diagnosed for this condition. I have been waiting 1.5 years just for an appointment with a phychiatrist who would only pass me off elsewhere. Still no appointment. We need our GP's to be able to access a diagnostic service much quicker than this.

I would love to have some support in times of crises. I also have Bi-Polar which makes matters worse. When I ask for support from my doctor they say when i'm poorly enough to go down to A & E and see the duty psychiatrist who will probably admit me into hospital. I will then be 'in the system' and get support whilst in hospital and for a shortwhile after discharge. Then you're left to your own devices and the cycle repeats itself. If only there was somewhere or someone to talk to.

A member of my family suffers from Aspergers/Autism but because he works full-time he receives no support at all and remains very isolated. He has just begun the process of being diagnosed but I understand he will have to travel to Sheffield for this.

need ongoing support for high functioning adults with aspergers Syndrome Diagnosis
In addition mental Health support with trained counsellors who have knowledge and experience to adapt counselling for AS not neurotypical adults
AS minds and behaviours are different but equally important and ther is no specialised provision within Leeds to accommodate this!

I do think it is a very poor society that we live in, if once aerson gets to the age off 16, they find it so hard to get a referral, or clinical assesment, or diagnsis for aspergers. It was never picked up on when my son was at school, on when he was a college by his tuture. He is now 22 and we are still struggling to yet any, coming up agianst brick wall after bring wall, wether it be GP's, councillors.
There needs to be something done about this sad situation that adaults find themselves in

As someone relatively new to the 'Asperger's Syndrome' and all it entails in terms of my partner and our family life, I would very much like to see a means of clinical diagnosis for adults within the Leeds area. I would also like to see, on the back of local diagnosis, support groups formed both for the 'sufferers' and their partners/adult children within the same area.

My 25 year old son was diagnosed earlier this year. We are struggling to find help and support and have been told that adults with aspergers 'fall through the net'. Provision of appropriate services and support would help stop this happening.

I support the petition as an adult living in Liverpool with Asperger's Syndrome. In Liverpool, we have a specialised Asperger Team whose work has become very well-known nationally since starting five years ago. The Liverpool model has proved very effective and - from a financial perspective - amazingly economical by taking work loads away from other agencies and consolidating everything as an individualised 'care package' I would like Asperger Adults in Leeds to benefit from a similar service.

Our daughter has symptoms of high performing autistim and learning difficulties. She denies hotly that she should be being classed as disabled. Capable to a good extent of being independent, she yet greatly needs parental and sibling support. She denies she needs social care, being vulnerably unaware that in fact she does need to have a plan made for when parents have died, and inevitably siblings' lifestyles make huge demands which exclude the possibility of caring for Michele like parents do
