I have a fair idea of what you're going through..... I am high-functioning
autistic.  It took me almost 40 years and two misdiagnoses that could have
cost me my life to make any doctor actual listen to what I was telling
them.  My current doctor is quite good, but he's nearing retirement so I'm
dreading the thought that in another few years I'll have to go doctor
hunting again.

Where are you located?  I'm in Glendale, near Newcastle.
