Kortie is right. Your diagnosis is just fine here, should be in Canada too. Best wishes.
Hi blazingstar, good to hear from you too.
Yes you're right, I believe. I'm clear to forge on ahead.  |

| I think you’re okay, Claradoon. Your diagnosis never “expired.” It’s just been “taken over” by the DSM V diagnosis of ASD, Level One. This is explicitly stated in the link I posted. It’s right below the “severity” section. Thanks again, so very much, Kortie! This is exactly what I was hoping to fin... |

| The DSM 5 diagnostic manual is a guideline I'm not sure what a clinician is. My doc is a family doc, what we used to call GP. She won't approach the DSM casually. I knew that HFA isn't official. Conversationally, it could take some of the heat off people who would say, "You can't have Asperger... |

| I was under the impression that an Aspergers diagnosis, DSM IV, automatically transferred to an Autism Spectrum Disorder Level One, Without Intellectual Disability and Speech Delay, DSM 5. The code number is 299. Here is the relevant link https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/hcp-dsm.html Hi, KK, this ... |

| Some years ago, when we still used DSM-IV, I got a written Dx of Asperger's from a reputable mental hospital. I think I was about 50yo. That Dx cleared the way for me to get help with Asperger's. DSM-5 moved Asperger's into Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I remember seeing that everywhere "Asperger... |

| If your mother's partner is sexually attracted to you, then she will hate you forever (barring therapy etc.) I don't if it's a conscious thing but I've seen it before. It's tragic but she can't see her own insane jealousy. Maybe therapy might help you live with such a situation? |
