| If you've been forced to buy a new car that you do not like, sell it and shop around for a car you do like. I understand the difficulty in acquiring a new car, especially since you used to drive your old car, not the car you purchased. I would honestly sell this one and acquire one you like. If your... |

| When I first found out I had Aspergers, my sister went around treating me like I had just gotten cancer. Even I, myself, regressed a little due to the sudden shift in my understanding of myself.

I think I am different from everyone else and I am not sure if what has happened to me (with regards to my brain) has ever happened to anyone else in the history of the world. Maybe that is an exaggeration, I am not sure. I ... |

| I've been thinking about this subject for a while. Why is it that Aspies and Auties do not want to just pretend to have empathy? I don't necessarily mean 'acting NT' but rather why do we all just simply act 'perfect' when we are around other people? Also why do some people on the spectrum have an i... |

Prepare a script before you go. It will help keep your thoughts organized.
Worse comes to worse, write down everything and had notes to your doctor.
Try to keep calm during the doctor interview, anxiety will make it hard to get your point across.
Good luck! |

| Direct him to asperger based material. If he finds a strong connection with it, then point him towards an assessor. Personally, I'd point him towards an assessor first. Many people research it then tell the assessor exactly what they've read and they get a diagnosis that might not fit them at all. |
