So I met with a specialist in autism for like 3 day period. She wrote down I was getting treated for aspergers w adjustment disorder.

All she had to work with was how i interacted with her staff and faculty, the fact i basically talked about math formulas all day and claimed to be a creative genius and act it out. She did the (count backwards from 100) test and state words back to her and all these various things and apparently i passed because She didn't put down psychosis.

My actual diagnosis is bipolar 1. But the faculty there didn't believe that. I also told her about my history in the past with studdering bad anxiety and problems socializing as a child.

When i was sent elsewere she told my parents they abused and neglected me. So basically, should i get a legitamate assessment? My T doesn't see aspergers in me. I was also diagnosed adhd at 7, im 24 now.

Have you seen a neurologist? Second opinions do help.

Are you saying you don't think the assessment they did was legitimate? Sounds like they spent a lot of time with you - that should count for something. Did they have a speech pathologist and occupational therapist meet with you as well as a psychologist?

From your perspective were they incorrect in saying your parents abused and neglected you?

As healingme4me said, an assessment by a neurologist would be another step to take.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
