I have a lot of experience with 'psychologists.' I think they're mostly nuts and very limited intellectually. They are not the sort of people I would trust with anything. I spent years trying to find out why I was struggling - in South Africa, in London, and in San Diego.

I once went to see a psychiatrist at the Royal Free Hospital in London. I was supposed to have an hour appointment. She pitched up 40 minutes late with no apology. She wanted to know why I wanted to see her.

I said, "I'm gifted, talented, come from a well-established, wealthy family in South Africa. I attended a private school (something like your Eton), had Lady Elizabeth Johnson (then Miss Crace) for my headmistress. I have been considered a stunningly beautiful woman all my life. I do not understand why I am struggling and why everybody dislikes me."

Then I asked "What is wrong with me?"

She said, "You are suffering from delusions of grandeur."

I was absolutely and utterly gobsmacked.

Later, I scanned newspaper cuttings, reports of my intellect, evidence of my schooling, and gave her photos (she had two eyes in her head and should have seen my looks) and when I arrived the next time, the first thing I said was, "Is there any reason you didn't ask me for evidence of what I said?"

She replied rather snarkily "Do you have any evidence?"

I said yes and gave it to her.

There were apologies on every level, including the consultant psychaitrst (head psychiatrist consulting to various hospitals.

It took another 15 years for Asperger's to be recognized. I passed three tests in three years, all of which tested positive.

My opinion of psychologists, or anyone in that field, is very, very low.
