It's Official-I have Asperger's!

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed officially last week from University IL Chicago Autism clinic. I was also diagnosed as having mild Ataxia, which has to do with the brain's ability to deal with balance and coordination. I now go to a mental health center for services but since I'm moving soon I won't be eligible to go there anymore after the end of June. I'm moving April 1. I don't really want to go to another mental health center, since I now know I don't really have mental illness. But I need some case mgmt assistance and maybe a support group. Anyone know of anything in northern Cook County of IL? It's really hard to find these kinds of services for Asperger's.

By the way, I was first diagnosed with Aspergers 4 years ago, but it was from an intern at a mental health center, not from anyone that really knew much about Autism. So even though this is the second time I was diagnosed, this most recent diagnosis is a more solid diagnosis that can be backed up with facts dealing more with Autism than mental illness.

Great... let's play "Asperger Team Fortress"...

I'll be the medic... you can be the sniper...

I got "unofficially" diagnosed today. Not a real diagnosis, but good enough for now.
