I received a second diagnosis of ADHD (I received one in 2015) and I have Aspergers.

I mentioned I'm very good at reading people,sarcasm,etc. So we did a mock conversation; You know,pretending we're both in a social situation. He said my conversation style is like an interrogation.

I still maintain I'm excellent at reading people,and I said exactly this to him and he told me even if you didn't have those particular symptoms, e.g inability to read people,you would still be on spectrum,because you have many more asd traits.

Thanks for all your help over these two weeks.

I take my leave.

So,yeah.

I am glad your fears were unfounded and you recieved confirmation of what you suspected.

I'll second that "interrogation" propensity. :-) What I don't get is why, having found out you belong here more than elsewhere, you are thinking of leaving. If you want to converse more normally, check out the news in Neuroplasticity, but don't call it a "cure" in Alex's house here.

I'm just really worn out by doctors,medical conditions,forums,symptoms,etc.

I'm gonna get back into my workout routine and get myself a life.
