Hi, I came across what aspergers is after seeing it talked about on another forum a few days ago and then doing more research on it. I was kind of shocked at how well it describes me. My friends agreed even, and some of my closest friends are aspies actually. I do plan on going to see a therapist though still due to losing my last job, which I wasn't given reason for, and had a break down at my employer prior which led to me quitting. There are some simple signs that lead me to it and some other developmental stuff that doesn't seem to. One example is me being fairly monotone, I get made fun of for it, but I also had speech imparments and still do to an extent. My parents think I have anxiety, am bipolar, have adhd, ocd about a few things, even though my room is a mess, and am depressive in addition to me being trans. I've only actually been helped by doctors for adhd and depression but neither medicine works and I don't feel depressed much. I have a habbit of driving though if I'm stressed or going for day long walks.

I do think a diagnoses could help with my parents being willing to accept who I am more though. I got yelled at by my mom for even bringing aspergers up in a conversation.

I know I've been different, in grade school they tried to seperate me twice into special classes but my parents said no. Then there was some weird stuff like i failed english and passed french at the same time. I was proud of my self last year for getting through college, and I went on my first ever date.

I'm having trouble though figuring out what kind of therapist I should go to. I could go to a trans friendly one but chances of her specializing in what i need is very slim. I started opening up to just lgbt friendly since I've been transitioned for over 3 years but there aren't many and while they list all the traits they don't seem to specialize really in any of them. That's why I kind of lead to the self diagnoses, but I think with the right therapist they could really open me up to some much needed help.

I'm sorry if it was long winded.

Well my families old therapist wasn't much help.

He's made me quite upset, my therapist walked out on me. Refused to help and told me to go drive a taxi. Wouldn't even go over my work history with me which I just got the records today. Never even go close to bringing up what I wanted to bring up. Atleast he didn't ask for me to pay him.

Welkome to WP
