| I think it would be nice if you spent some time reading people's posts describing their lives before deciding that they don't have AS simply because they lack an official diagnosis. You are not qualified to make that assessment either. This site is about acceptance and understanding; it's not a gam... |

| I am responding because your posts convey autism as being excuse making and that it's easy for an autistic to act like an NT when it doesn't work that way. If you have an issue with the undiagnosed that's between you and them but when you start posting that my problems are excuses and I need to "ge... |

| And, yes your problems are trivialized when you claim a disorder you do not actually have. Get used ot it. But how do you know the people who have problems are any different from the diagnosed who have problems? I believe anyone who has a problem because I know what it's like to experience them and... |

| I stand by that statement. He's a child psychiatrist who is filling in for the previous pediatric neurodevelopmental M.D. who relocated his family out of state. I read about it obsessively and I know enough to know they still haven't decided definitively what exactly AS is or how it should be descr... |

| It appears that this is a sore subject for most. Unless you have a diagnosis, you have no confirmed psychological issues. No amount of long ranting posts about how you were bad in school, liked politics and got drunk alot will convince anyone you have AUTISM. The next time you make the excuse "sorr... |

| As a girl I was considered both a gifted child and a problem child. I was very much a math whiz and at the age of 5 I knew addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, pre-algebra (x+3=5, 5x=25, x+2+3=9), fractions, and small squares and square roots (x squared = 16, the square root of 9 is 3).... |

| I've seen the perspective voiced by the OP here before by others officially diagnosed. I wonder why the OP feels so territorial about it? Try to be honest with yourself. People recognizing their aspieness after years of pain and confusion take nothing away from you. I don't know that I have Asperge... |

| The last I checked, intentional b*tchiness isnt an aspergers trait. In fact, it proves you are more normal than you would like to be. |

| Im not trying to be mean, I just really want to know what qualifies you to make this "diagnosis" and what tools or tests you used to classify yourself against the DSM. I feel that people who label themselves aspergers or autistic without finding out if they truly are minimize the true diagnosis and ... |

I told my mother this about my child "because if anyone would know if he has this, its you, right?" she hasnt spoken of it since. |

| Id like to know how some posters classify themselves as having a psychological disorder which they have never been evaluated for and professionally diagnosed? (self diagnosis listed on signatures) |
