Which is confusing, because I didn't think that Scotland really used the DSM.
What the heck do I know, though?

Yeah, I didn't think we did either, I guess we pick and choose what parts of it to use and what parts to ignore based on either WHO's recommendations or our own. I don't know haha.
All I know is that after the assessment, I received a letter to let me know I "meet the diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome" and that she would inform both my GP and my PDoc of her diagnosis for their records.
