Hello, my name is Leah (raventoxinz) and I just got my Apergers Diagnosis today. I am relieved that I finally got my diagnosis. My whole life has been you are not (insert wrong diagnosis here), but you are something. Now that I have this diagnosis, I dont know what to do with it. I just know that I have people saying I need SSDI. I never held a job more than 6 months and I never knew why. This is actually a relief to know that I am not crazy. Anyway here I am and wondering what the next step was for me. My husband and I travel on the road together because he is an outdoor entertainer. I seem to do well in that lifestyle. The chaos is consistency for me. Please write back and let me know what to do. Saiyonara.

Hey. Just joined today. I was diagnosed with the same thing 2 years ago at the age of 12. Anyways, i personally recommend that you learn as least as possible about AS. Try to forget you were diagnosed in the first place. It saves you a lot of pain.

When i was first diagnosed, i payed no attention to the fact i have autism. I was just satisfied that whatever i have has a name. The fact i have Aspergers during those two years just simply floated in a place my mind never visited. I almost forgot i had it in the first place. Those years were spent peacefully worrying more about regular preteen things and just life in general. At that point the fact i was different hardly phased me. I just carried on with life and pretended i never knew in the first place. I almost convinced myself the diagnosis never happened.

That all changed during the summer. I had graduated middle school and decided to finally learn about Aspergers Syndrome. It was painful, realizing just what it is that made me different. The books i read gave me my own POV, the one i never thought of. I revisited every memory in my life, realizing what their words truly meant. How my life was a simple repeat of others. I was more aware of my senses, sounds became louder, colors more vibrant, smells even stronger. Things were worse starting high school. I started off with a completely new set of students than my middle school, a group of new faces. They weren't used to my weird quirks and behaviors that my previous classmates dealt with. I have spent highschool so far frightened that someone will find out and judge me. Scared that ill mess up in my attempts to act normal. Its painful having to live in fear of being judged.
