I don't see many examples on WP of anyone trying to be dishonest about their self-diagnosis, in fact I have noticed only people bending over backwards to mention that they do not have their diagnosis yet if that's the case.


As did I. Before I received mine I always preceded any input I was about to make to a thread with the information that I hadn't yet been diagnosed.

Before I actually got my diagnosis in September myself, about the same time you did, I did not consider myself SELF diagnosed, I preferred to say, whenever it seemed necessary, that I SUSPECTED myself to be on the spectrum, and YES, after YEARS of research and deepest thought and reflection. I didn't arrive at that suspicion lightly, and I was never anything but honest about that.

I STILL got kicked around here on WP.

I'm now, as you very well know, in the same place your now are. I received a seven page report that I would defend as being just as thorough as yours. I have ASD.

But what the fck does it matter when nobody here believes f*****g anything anyway.

So screw it.

You have turned into such a self righteous jerk now, skibum, and fck your "respect" -- you're full of it since you got your diagnosis.


Ha ha, them be fighting words - it's good to see some passion! I'm feeling low tonight and this cheered me up a bit - yeah, I'm weird like that.

I believe you for whatever it's worth. You can tell me to fck off now <_<.

Congratulations skibum. For some reason I thought you already had the official diagnosis - I have always enjoyed your posts. If you are anything like me, then the next few weeks will be full of moments where you take some of those pieces from the report and apply them to memories from long ago - no matter how you already knew these things, there's nothing like seeing it on paper to allow yourself to step back and appreciate things for what they are.

This reminds me once again how differently people think. It seems very strange to me that animosity makes you happy. Very interesting.

I find it fun and enlivening. I don't know why, I just do. Probably some hideous character flaw of mine, but whatever.

I just hate the huggy-wuggy approach to everything. I find it stifling. Similarly, in real life I prefer mental health professionals (whether they be counsellors or psychiatrists) who aren't too huggy-wuggy: I like non-stuffy people who are open and practical-minded.

I think NCOP needs to take a swig from the Samovar.

But you could be a nice Wolflady for that special Wolfman!

Now I know that I'm on NCOT's radar--she honored me with a M8!

The heart of the Lagoon Nebula, AKA M8--the eighth object in Charles Messier's famous catalog of comet-like telescopic objects. The image shows a region approximately 3 light years across and shows a region of active star formation.

That woke me from my haze. lol It is nice to see passion sometimes.

With regard to the topic, I can't believe the amount of diagnostic tests you underwent, OP! I've seen two psychiatrists, both of whom diagnosed me as on the spectrum, although they were more concerned about GAD and depression. But I only saw each of them once for an hour and I took no tests. Public Health, I guess.
Anyway, I could care less if someone is diagnosed or not. I'm happy to listen to what they have to say. The only thing that bothers me is when a neurotypical gives advice to an autistic. I don't need to go on to an autism website to get advice from a neurotypical.

From which telescope? I would guess the Mt Palomar telescope?
