Hi everyone,
As the originator of the first post in this thread, back in December 2009, I thought I'd post an update. 13th May 2013 (UK time) I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.
What a journey it has been!
Mixed emotions just now; and quite a lot to work through and process. I feel some relief as well as a lot of apprehension to what lies ahead.
Thanks for this opportunity to share,
Best wishes,
So, are you going to fill us in on the details of said journey?
Reading the whole thread sounds a bit like Wuthering Heights, you joined, then disappeared for 4 years and returned with success, reads as if something exciting happened in the interim like you spent the whole time battling with psychiatrists in order to get your analysis and can now return to us to claim a rightful place on WP.
How did you go about getting your diagnosis? I was seeing a Psychiatrist about Reactive attachment disorder and when I mentioned I showed many symptoms of Aspergers, he simply dismissed any further discussion by saying, "We all have a bit of Aspergers in us", so I would be quite interested as I reside in the same wet and dismal lands as yourself.
