| I have had about a week now to think about my diagnosis of AS and I still am not convinced. Terrible of me, I know...but I am just so unsure. Maybe it's because anyone I disclose this to is not believing it or thinks that's not what is going on--or they say it must be mild. The second opinion will b... |

| I finally told some co-worker friends...one said that she doesn't think I have it at all. The other two (I told these two people seperately) say that I must have it very, very mildly...I work for a company for adults with disabilities, so maybe they just think I must be extreme to have it or somethi... |

| I forgot to add--I have been an extremely picky eater since I was about 3. My mom remembers this--and I have been making my own meals since I was 8 years old! I also don't like things touching on my plate and if it's supposed to be cold, it HAS to be cold and vice versa. I think a lot of it has to d... |

| Well, would it be silly to get a second opinion? I think I am just denying it for no reason! I do see him again on June 2, maybe he'll have more info or thoughts then. I know I have it, I just can't bring myself to believe it. By the way, this guy specializes in autism and he is aware of adult autis... |

| To answer briefly, yes. Now back to normal. When I was first Dxed, even though I had been researching here and elsewhere and thought that I "could" be AS (enough for me to actually follow through with talking to a stranger :x )...I did wonder. One of my first,rather cynical thoughts was...."This pe... |

I dunno why I am doubting it THIS much, except maybe I hope that I didn't ASK for this diagnosis and just get it. Do any of you know what I mean?
Am I the only one denying or not feeling "right" about being diagnosed with Asperger's??? What helps? |

| I know that already....I am so used to keeping medical stuff to myself, like the fact I have fibroyalgia--IRL, I usually never even share it. I have told one close co-worker who thinks she could have something like it too and my mom and husband so far. |

| I think one thing I am relieved about is the whole humor thing...I really DON'T get some jokes and people thought I was ditzy or stupid...but it took me forever to "get it." And some other things feel good to know--I just wish that I could have come back and say that I don't have it at all. When I w... |
