Wondering how a formal diagnosis of Asperger syndrome will affect my ability to reach all the goals I have set for myself. I don't want to accept a life of being "less than." I have felt that way all my life and want to get rid of that feeling.
I feel that you should simply continue to be human and carry on with all diplomatic tasks regardless of a formal diagnosis or such. Yeah, I know that sounds easily,but in actual practice which is quite true. Despite my formal diagnosis way back in 2004, I've not reached my goals, but that has nothing to relate to my diagnosis rather stupidtrons;whom, have literally detoured me constantly over the vast many years. Anyways, don't give up on anything you wish to do okay?

Kazanscube,
Thank you for these positive words. I think, in my case, I just have to avoid doing stupid things and avoid wasting opportunities to do positive things that will help me on my way to my goals.

Hey, even I.myself have made some strategic errors in doing certain tasks, so I know the feeling overall.

The notion that everyone around me looks to me for support when I need it as much as they do, but I'm mute and have alexithymia and no concept of how to comfort people in real life. Their depression, trauma and anxiety affects me profoundly. I feel like I need to vanish in order to protect myself but I don't have that elixir.

Anxiety about the fate of my Toastmasters club. We have an Open House tonight. I hope it's successful and the first step on the road back. I have a speech and want to be fully prepared.

I don't recommend Ontario Canada. Our government has taken a strong turn to the right. Social services are going to get really bad. They are to announce chages to the system on the 22 of November.

Because I think you are Courageous. You have it inside you, even if it's hard to gather the words and express them. We are ALL just human after all. You don't have to be superhuman, we ALL have flaws which make us more human. Just one day at a time. I hope you feel better soon.
