I Just Got My Results Back...

Post Reply New Topic

...And not surprisingly, I do in fact have Asperger's Syndrome... (My Psychologist still uses that term to describe those that are high-functioning).

I was originally classified as "high-functioning" by the NEISD, but now I've actually gotten a "proper" diagnosis from an actual professional; she comes down from Dallas to San Antonio once a month to work with children and adults on the spectrum.

Not also very surprising to me, but I've also been confirmed to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, (ADHD), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

The only one I didn't know about that I had was a Nonverbal Learning Disability, (NLD).

I have already been given several recommendations by my PhD, one of which involves me joining a local Asperger's support group in my area to help me branch out to those more like me and to work on my anxiety and social skills.

So, I finally know a little bit more about myself... Thanks to that testing.

One of us! One of us! One of us!



Psst.. can I borrow 5 bucks now?

Congratulations on receiving this confirmation; I hope that many positive things continue to arise from this.

I believe I will have the same experience, as soon as I manage to set something up. At least as far as the AS/ASD + general anxiety disorder.

Congratulations. I wish I had the cajones to get a second opinion. I don't want to be found that I'm off the spectrum so I'll just run with the first diagnosis.

Welcome to the NLD team. There are a few of us around here.

you are sooooooooooo lucky to have a support group in your area, or any resources at all - that is great !

Congratulations, Flut.

Did you always have the board name Fluttercord Aspie, or is that new, now that you know??
