Worried about being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Also worried about not being diagnosed. I don't really feel good about either option.

I get that, but the answer is what I'm looking for because that will let me actually deal with the root of things and not just bandaid some symptoms. But, it is scary ain't it? I'm going through this at the same time. What scares me is this:
I come here and I find people I can understand. Never had that happened to me before. If I do have Asperger's then what?

At least, I will have an answer. Maybe, finally, some truth.....

Two things:

1. How my social worker seems to know absolutely nothing about Autism and just sits and stares at me saying nothing when I see her.

2. How I am very bad at money management; I always have been. I think I am getting better (creating a budget, etc) but it always somehow gets away from me. I wonder if this is a Aspergers thing or a "me" thing. (?)

I'm about to start an X Files marathon before the show briefly returns in about 2 weeks.

I used to wonder if it was weird to watch longplays of video games on YouTube instead of playing them, but then I realized a lot of people watch sports games on TV without ever playing them. :P

Speaking of which, I also learned the other day that "Puck Bunny" is an insulting Canadian slang for a young girl who follows hockey only because she thinks the players are cute. I've never heard anyone say that phrase, so I'm wondering *which* part of Canada?

I'm thinking about how much I enjoy the word(s) "tremble/trembling". Aside from the obvious association of the word with "fear", for some reason, I also associate the word with "youth", "innocence", and "purity". I don't know why. That's just how I've viewed this word for a while now.

I had such a good first day of the semester at university today, but I am waaaaay overstimulated and over-caffeinated, so I decided to plan things out for the next couple of days rather than do homework. I'm pretty impressed withe my super-simple planning chart, which is on normal sized paper so I could put in my binder. I read about a "one binder rule" on an ADHD support site and it has changed everything for me. Now even my planner is in there. Win :D
