Or better yet, maybe they can just take my advice and TALK TO A DOCTOR ABOUT IT -- they spend over 7 years getting a degree for a REASON.
Most doctors don't know sh** about Aspergers.
And we do?
I hardly know how it works for
myself, let alone other people.
At least a doctor can refer you to someone who does know.
Doctors spend over 7 years partying at medical school.
Actually there are a few doctors who do learn something from med school, but they become cardiologists, gastro-enterologists,
or some other
physical "-ologist". Unfortunately psychology and psychiatry don't get much good material to begin with.
Even if you were to specifically study the human brain for 7 years, Aspie obsessive style, how much will you know about it in the end? Not even the tip of the iceberg!
My diagnosis came from an Aspie psychiatrist, after receiving loads of misdiagnosis from NTs. I don't think there's anyone better than one who actually knows what you're going through, and who can relate to your difficulties because he or she deals with them on a daily basis too to help you understand.
