I'm not new here - but I've not been here for a good few months so felt the need to re-introduce myself.

Having had my self diagnosis of Asperger's trashed by doctors and councellors again - I decided to stay away and live in the 'real world' like the supposed normal human that I am.

Now I am back - battered, shattered and all burned out ......
Needing to be in contact with those that 'get this'! :wall:

That's got to be frustrating. I'm in the process of being officially diagnosed, but if they end up telling me I'm NT, I will be very baffled, and frustrated - because it won't change the fact that I have all the symptoms of Aspergers, and have never been able to function like an NT, in my entire life.

I'm sorry that's what happened to you... I have special sympathy for people who are right on the border between NT and Aspie, because they have serious issues, yet don't really fit in anywhere, which totally sucks

Anyway, welcome back!

Put your feet up. How many sugars do you like in your tea? Milk or no milk?

They're changing the DSM (diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders) soonish. It means that getting diagnosed as a apsie is getting more difficult, by this rate those with aspie like traits will be diagnosed as having a 'social disorder' not aspergers:

I'm officially diagnosed but get treated like a NT because I can hide my aspergers well enough. Its like I'm in purgatory ah!
