I got an official diagnosis only about four or five years ago.

Next month it is four years ago that I got mine.

I got my semi official DX the summer of 05.  I was told if I wanted to spend 2000 I could get it official but what was that going to get me other than a complementary tee shirt :zoinks:  I was not after benefits or accommodations at school like my kids where

What would make it official? Is the testing different, or the documentation?

The shrink I paid told me that an official dx would have been more money and having other doctors confirm it as well as talking to my mother. For my own purposes of just knowing yay or nay, not involving insurance companies, possible govt claims etc she was satisfied to proclaim me "definitely on the spectrum, but too high functioning to be aspergers". She would have done more if proof to SSI, insurance companies etc was needed.

Going through all the testing and having everything documented properly.  I had gone to a couple doctors and a specialist who all felt the same but since I was not pursuing anything other than information for my own piece of mind they said the rest of the documentation and testing was unnecessary.  I kinda prefer it that way as it is not in my medical records

I was diagnosed by a psychologist (who interviewed my mum as well) and it was confirmed by a psychiatrist - does that mean medically diagnosed? It happened in January 2005.

ADHD dx was more fun - I got to have a brain scan for that.

I did those on paper. Took a while before the woman taking the test realised I was doing some the wrong way around.  :M

Part of my test for ADHD was given by a psych. student from around Springfield Mass.  And before she came in the room I heard her outside the door saying, "I hate this guy and can't do the test on him."  She looked like some past pictures of pmselle except taller.   Anyway, she did the tests as the shrink made her do it.   I felt really put off and leery.  But I pretended I didn't hear anything.  The cunt was a student on her final practical run.   I got my ADD testing confirmed, but it was the Professional who made the call not the cunt.

 How could she hate you before she'd even come into the room?   What a bitch!   :thumbdn:

I don't know......but, part of me wondered if this was part of the test.  It was a long and a  very hard day.  My IQ got rated high, but, I scored low in the areas that showed I had ADD or ADHD.   SHe had multiple piercings in her ears, and a few in her nose and lips.   This was in Portland Maine, since they were the closest and quickest that I could get an appointment with.    After hearing the exchange, I just made sure that I kept my distance and spoke very little except to answer the questions and tests.   :dunno:
