I just realized something. I thought that Aspergers was fairly well known at the time when I went to the psychologist for the first and only time. But really, I read this just now:
"Lorna Wing popularized the term Asperger syndrome in the English-speaking medical community in her 1981 publication[76] of a series of case studies of children showing similar symptoms,[73] and Uta Frith translated Asperger's paper to English in 1991.[75] Sets of diagnostic criteria were outlined by Gillberg and Gillberg in 1989 and by Szatmari et al. in the same year.[69] AS became a standard diagnosis in 1992, when it was included in the tenth edition of the World Health Organization’s diagnostic manual, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10); in 1994, it was added to the fourth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic reference, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).[4]"
The thing is, the year I went to the psychologist was in 1995 or 1996. I am guessing it was completely not even something the psychologist considered...is that really what has happened? I think it's a good theory, just wondering if what you all think. |

| Tim Texas, did you go to someone who specialized in it or was it just a medical clinic's psychologist or something? |

After years of misdiagnoses and mistreatments as a child in the psychiatric system, I finally got correctly diagnosed as an adult
in 2007...and that was because I went away to attend a large university. Shortly after the start of school, I needed some help and happen to meet with an entire treatment staff of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals at a large medical school facility near my university. |

OMG, most psychiatrists/psychologists didn't know very much about AS back then, and probably would have been very reluctant to diagnose someone unless they had very classic and noticeable symptoms. I think it's only in the last few years that it has become widely known and diagnosed, and even now some doctors will admit they don't know enough about it to diagnose, like the psychiatrist I'm seeing for meds. Though I think if someone came in who didn't indicate to her they thought they had AS, and presented with some of the symptoms, she would probably refer them to someone who could diagnose it. |

I don't know, I think it was roughly around 1963.
