Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and I just now started realizing that I definitely more than likely have aspergers. I've been diagnosed with ADHD, depression and generalized anxiety disorder but I never thought that I might have aspergers but the more and more I read about aspergers, I can see that I fit the description completely and have just about every quality of it. I talked to my psychologist about it and she said that I seem to fit the description and that I more than likely have it but that she wouldn't give me an official diagnosis because at this point in my life there isn't a reason to and that the treatment plan would be the same that I am already on. I always just thought I was extremely socially awkward but now I can see that there is a reason to why I am so awkward. I spent the summer and fall this year being very depressed, anxious and having very low self esteem and I'm still not sure of myself and am a little depressed but honestly once realizing that I more than likely have aspergers, I'm kinda relieved. It's just good to know that there is a reason for my awkwardness and the more I read the more I realize that people with aspergers aren't necessarily disabled but rather differently abled and sometimes even more intelligent than others. I now feel some sort of hope for my life where as before I just felt a loss of hope and thought that I would never fit in any where that I went. I'm glad I found Wrong Planet and I am looking forward to reading blogs and discussions and talking to people that face some of the same struggles that I face. If anybody has any advice for someone that just found out they more than likely have aspergers, I would appreciate it greatly! Thanks!
