I'm glad you said this, it's exactly how I feel. If I'm not diagnosed, it means there IS something wrong with me, or that I'm just socially ret*d and should just get a grip but clearly can't. It really upsets me thinking about it. Being recognised as being on the spectrum means they're saying 'oh i...

Good luck. Wow, thank you ... yeah, that is really helpful ... this is also exhausting. A baby book ...

oh, i should add that i had temper tantrums, and during them i would hit my head with hands in a fist position ... I'm sure there are other things i'll remember but much of my childhood was sad so I have a tendency to forget the sad things.
