Hey maybe we need a new grading platform for self diagnosers*
Level one - I had an Aspie Sneeze on me, is it contagious?
Level two - I read about ASD's whilst I was in my doctors office whilst I was there for my hypochondria
Level ...? - I have always suspected and related to Autism somehow. Since discovering literature on Aspergers and with extensive objective research, I feel I have found a correct description of my neurological self which is reflected in the broad symptoms I have experienced. My next level will be to have this confirmed either way
Level... ? I am in the process of being assessed by a professional. An ASD is a possible diagnosis.

Here's a paradox for you:
If I'm convinced I have hypochondria, do I have hypochondria?

I have a preliminary diagnosis of ASD Level 1. I will be meeting with my psychiatrist in the near future for a moral thorough evaluation and a full final diagnosis.
