Peace, Love and all that good stuff
I've never once in my adult life managed to get a General Practitioner, I've only been d*cked around my those kinds of drs and their offices. I barely believe they're even a real thing anymore. I've made appointments with several offices that make you wait 3-6 months to get in for the first visit. Sometimes something would happend that day I wouldn't make it (who can really plan that far out for all constingences) there for causing me to rewait another 3-6 months and the couple times nothing interfered with the appointment and I went at the scheduled time they magically had no idea who I was, I was not on the books, also causing me to rewait another 3-6 months. I haven't even bothered in the past 2 years. Getting an OBGYN was easy though, dude called one local and they got me in the next day, it just saddens me that after my next child is born I'll be once again thrown to the streets as far as a regular doctor goes.
I found my psych that did my diagnosis from Psychology Today's website, grabbed the one most local to me (about an hour away) and made the appointment (3-4 months wait) but no problems, he didn't have any stupid receptionist to mess things up. Spent two days with him doing all the assessments then got the results a couple weeks later. Once again I was sad that I could no longer meet again with the doctor since all he does is assessments specializing in Autism's.
I went to a therapist for a day but the fighting at home was so horrible (because he then felt I tricked him into being with me, which I think we've since gotten over) that I couldn't deal with trying to see a therapist and then deal with the fighting at home so I just went around life as before diagnosis more or less except with the newfound and backed up knowledge of the fact. I've been considering trying the therapist thing again now that the diagnosis has settled in for me and my family. Or possibly a support group, since I'm out of work now I have the time. It would be nice to meet some fellow autise's in real life.
