I've had a few meetings with a psychologist to determine if I have Aspergers and I got my diagnosis today: I do have Aspergers.

It's kind of a relief. After years of not fitting in and feeling like a failure, I now have a language to explain who I am.

So, now the next phase begins.

:D :D :D *high-five*

I use to feel like a failure too. Then I realized I was only failing at trying to be a NT. Be proud and I wish you best with the next phase. :wtg:

vulcanpastor, I'm glad that getting a diagnosis was a relief to you.

I felt like a failure before my diagnosis and now, after it, I still feel like a failure...so I guess it had more of a positive effect on you. :)
