Hi,
I dont know if I have AS or too much about AS despite reading bits about it for a couple of years. There is a lot written on the net but a lot of it seems repetitive and not very in depth.
A lot of the traits listed on the internet seem to relate to me either now or growing up.
I also did a couple of tests I found on the internet and they both suggested I was very likely to be some one that dwelt within aspergers.
But y'know, its the internet and self diagnosis, how accurate can those two things be together.
Im not even sure if those tests are a reliable measure or have any real backing.
If it turns out someone has AS, what do you do about it anyway? Just accept it, give your quirkiness a name and carry on being you?
Are there drugs, diets, exercise regimes, therapies that make you more normal? If so will the quality of my life be lessened by seeking out a cure? Will the richness of my experience be taken away from me as it was once or twice when I was prescribed antidepressants.
Will I feel less?
If so Im pretty happy to remain just as I am. But look forward to getting a better understanding of what AS is and how far I might tread in its domain.
Thanks to long term members here who have previously shared there experience in this forum.
