Help. I think I posted here a few months ago that I was seeking a diagnosis. Three days ago I got it. Kinda… Briefly, the doctor said I fall squarely into being categorized as having AS on my written tests and what I’d told him during our sessions, but that he doesn’t find me that way when observing...
