My lifetime suspicions of my vast "other"-ness were (almost completely) confirmed this past Saturday when I started really resarching AS. If I can figure out the finances for it, my school therapist wants me to go get a doctor's diagnosis this summer. Regardless of whether a real diagnosis happens or not, I know in my core that all of the puzzling, troubling, anxiety-inducing fears that have made my life hell now have an explanation. As I always say, (and after researching, I suspect a lot of other Aspies say too)-- it is better to know then not know! I don't have anyone in my life that could really understand what I go through on a daily basis, and it's completely blowing my mind that I'm not alone! So, I guess I'm just saying hello, and I hope that I'm glad I finally worked up the courage to post!
