Welp, I've been around here for a few months, posting in whichever random topics piqued my interest; glad to say that my insight and suspicions (like many people) were justified and yesterday, I received the results of my assessment as an Asperger's and generalized anxiety diagnosis. In some aspects on the test, I was actually closer to the autism cut-off, which surprised me O.o Anyway, I wanted to give a huge thank you to all of the people that frequent WrongPlanet, whether diagnosed or not, because I've learned an incredible amount about autism from everyone. Without WrongPlanet, I'm absolutely positive that I'd still be aimlessly meandering around with less than a clue about why I was different.
Thanks!
Anthony

Like you, my official diagnosis was a pleasant relief. Now that I have a focus, I feel more free to explore and indulge in my creative inclinations which, in my case, is writing.
