Ja, jag antar att det kanske är fler som hänger på aspergerforum.

I know it doesn't change anything. But I guess I just feel a little ashamed or something when it's all over. I just wish I could handle it better in general.

One thing I haven't really understood yet; is this a typical AS/ASD thing? Not being able to control emotions that is.

Du behöver inte anta, jag sa precis att det är så. ;)

No, quite the opposite, NTs are (generalization) annoyingly emotional and seem to mistake emotional responce for facts on a regular basis.

Jag ser fram emot den dag då jag äntligen får bli utredd. Så trött på all förvirring.

Anyway, thanks for all the answers :)

Another reason why I prefer to work part-time. If I wake up one day feeling anxious or depressed or unsociable and had a full week of work ahead of me, I know I will feel worse, especially if I was working with the public where I have to put on a front, and I find it more harder to put on the front than most people do (although it is hard for them but they can do it better than me, my emotions just show right through). If I worked part-time (just 2 to 3 days a week) I could wake up feeling a bit anxious or whatever one morning but think ''oh well at least I've got tomorrow off'' or ''oh at least I can look forward to Wednesday where I get a chance to have a nice, peaceful day at home.''

Du vet väl att människor bara accepterar det de håller med om, i annat fall bestrider/avfärdar de det, alltså vet du redan vad för svar du accepterar och därigenom vad de kommer att säga, utredningen är helt onödig. ;)

Any time. :D

Jag förstår vad du menar, fast jag håller inte med helt. En utredning för mig skulle vara långt ifrån onödig. Dels vill jag kunna förstå mig själv (oavsett om jag har någon ASD eller inte) och dels behöver jag hjälp med att lära mig hur jag ska hantera olika saker. Har jag någon form av anxiety disorder (vilket jag är ganska säker på att jag har) så provar jag gärna KBT osv. Så jag ser inte en utredning som onödig. Inte för mig i alla fall. Do you know what I mean?

This makes so much sense to me. I worked full-time for about 30 years, and I had migraines all the time and the worst absentee record. I think I would have been okay in part time work. It's tough to find part time work, though, where I live.

I seem to be pretty much the opposite of most here. I seem to have few emotions or I unconsciously over control them. I have been told that I am weird because nothing seems to affect me.

I have had a tendancy to surpress strong emotions ( I was punished as a child if I cried, even if the situation was grossly someone else's fault). Unfortunately, my temper does not care for this & likes to blow up, at really trivial crap instead of critical situations. I find a lot of things just iritating frankly. And sudden unplanned changes top the list.

Sincerely,
Matthew
