Yes. No one would even suspect I was on the spectrum. I suppose I am very strong-willed.

My thinking used to be very black and white. Now, it is the reverse. I see most things as gray areas and reject moral absolutes. My psychiatrist, whom I was was advised to see by my primary physician (for insomnia), diagnosed me with Asperger's entirely on the basis of my verbal report.

Yes, you become less Aspie on the surface and have more of a broader scope on being able to deal in the NT world.
