My older sister was diagnosed last year. Since she is the only person on the planet that I consider to be anything like me, I thought it'd be a good idea to see if all of my own issues stem from the same place. The fact that I'm just like her in every way is more impressive when considering we didn't know each other until I was seventeen and she was (i think) twenty-one. I would say the chief difference between us, though, would be that I'm much more likely to have anger and temperament issues than she is.
We were raised in two totally different settings, with polar opposite mothers, and still managed to have the same neuroses and general confusion over the human race, time, and driving cars (see also: the devil's machine).

Wednesday is my follow-up for the Asperger's evaluation I had a few weeks ago. I suppose I'll know then if it's 'official' or not.

The diagnosis is official now, which is still kind of weird.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:
