Its good to talk
posted at 06:14 pm on 03-10-2007
Hi again.
went to work today, was utterly boring/soul destroying.Apart from a collegue, 'H' she's a psychology student, I had this propmt in my head to ask her about AS, and she not only knew about it, but has family with it also. What a relief to get it off my chest. Its more common than I thought; she was realy sweet about it and said she didnt mind talkin about it to me.
So I think I wil go for the clinical diagnosis. She did n't run off screaming to the hills or anything similar.

Spoke to a realy nice lady from the National Autistic Society earlier about getting a diagnosis. I was soo stressed it all came rushing out and I could hardly contain my self.She, on the other hand was the epitome of patience it self. I started to feel calmer,it was the first time in 10 years that I spoken about AS and myself. She said it was up to me if I went to get an diagnosis from a health profesional, and even then it would be upto me to declare it to my employer. Am more in control now. Things make more sense. I can go on end enjoy being me.

This is such a great site.And such a relief to find. I have know since I can remember that I'm not wired-up the same as my family and friends, not that it bothered me.
I have been told so many times in the past that I displayed AS tendencies but that still didnt mean anything to me. Dont know why now I have to find out/confirm/admit that I am the way I am. I like being me.I do wonder if other people should know about my aspie-ness. I like to know because it explains so much of why I have to do the things the way I do. I can have a place in the real world as well as my own.
At work I get guys in my face, an I dont know if they are posturing/threatening or just bein' obtuse, so I dont react in the way they expect (aggression) which often eases the tension. (Thats a benifit of being an aspie).
The problem is that I'm good at hiding it for so long then everything goes into overload/meltdown.I dont have an stress/emotional dump valve. It's not that I dont care, but I dont feel sorry/guilty when I go off. Cant please all the folks all the time.
