| @DeaconBlues I have only skinned your post, because I'm on mobile but two things jumped out at me that I want to address right away. -I have no desire to be 'less autistic'. I came to terms with who I was and who I might be later years ago. I was not mistaken on that. I was mistaken on my ability to... |

| Good luck. If it helps to know, you're not alone. We're going through lots of the same steps right now. |

| Maybe he really got called in? I just can't see how someone would go through all that and then not meet up, unless they got scared or there really was work. |

| @ Everyone else Thanks, and I'll keep you posted. I'm in a much better place this morning, and I think I've got the beginning of a plan formed. I haven't decided whether I'm going to return to that doctor and talk to her and see if she can't help me find the right professional, or If I should just a... |

| @noetic I did not demand a specific diagnosis. I demanded treatment. I know beyond any reasonable doubt my diagnosis. If a therapist wants to confirm it before providing treatment based on it, I'm okay with that. I'd love that, in fact. I'm okay with self-medicating, too. I'm actually really good at... |

@DonkeyBuster That's what I'll do then. Thanks. I'm going to go away for a while now. Too many words are happening. If you can point me to any resources about finding doctors, I'd appreciate that too.
FWIW, I'm in Texas if I didn't say that before. |

| @DonkeyBuster Okay - cannabis isn't physically addicting. A dependency can be formed around anything, though. You'll note that I didn't say I'm without addictions; I have plenty. Coffee, cigarettes, and I'm not sure about this one, but maybe food. It's easy for me not to buy junk food (Usually. When... |

| If I seem frustrated in my response, understand that it's because after reading my post, admittedly poorly articulated so I can forgive misunderstandings, you completely glossed over my problems and instead zeroed in on the cannabis use. That is a little frustrating, but I'm sure you're just trying ... |

| I first suspected I might be on the autism spectrum a few years ago, because of a test I took on a mobile app. I ignored the results, and continued on with my life. Several months later, I was having a hard time in life. Naturally, I took to the Internet. Long story short - Over the next few months ... |
