I think, from what I can see, the problem lies in how your disorder is classified between the US and the UK. Again though, no one should be questioning your dx, it seems in this case, they are just stating how the US classifies it compared to the UK. That doesn't make either one wrong, just different.
I can see you are sensitive about this, and I don't blame you at all, but I truly don't see where there is any hostility towards you, even though it may feel like there is to you. Again, I am sorry you are feeling that way.

it just feels that no matter where in the world i mention my condition it is never understood or i am not believed either that it is a mental health condition or that i can not get physio, the house adapted or whatever the other person percieves someone with the physical problems that come with it should be getting.i always have to justify why i can't get it. seing others with the same or even less needs getting more support/treatment/help on a daily basis is really getting to me. i am not jealous, it is great the support they get, i am disappointed that i/my dx is deemed not worthy of help or understanding.
i know in most places you have to pay for treatment, but here you don't which actually is great for recognised 'common' dx's but for those like mine it makes it impossible to get any.top that with having the dx questionned every time is very waring.
