Congrats!

I'm glad I got diagnosed. So far, I've kept it a secret, but it's good to have the option of proving I have AS, should the need ever arise.


Well, if I was 20-25 years younger, I would do it in a shot JUST for that reason, and to get things like IEPs, etc... That sounds NICE.

Of course, it helps to further show that objective people agree, and may help in defining your differences. Also, there is an odd camaraderie in it.

Ravenclawgurl,

What kind of tests did they give you? Did you have to pay for it? How much did it cost?

Congratulations, Ravenclawgurl. I myself went to a primary care physican not too long ago seeking a diagnosis, but he said that being diagnosed wouldn't be very helpful for someone my age(22), which kinda makes angry :evil:

I guess I need to work harder on being odd :roll:

That just turned into a little rant, didn't it? Oh well, Congrats again.

Commiseration , but at least you know that any Aspergers survival guide applies to you. Wrong planet articles section is a great place to start.

I wish you good luck in getting what help you need now that you have an official diagnosis.
