I love this article. Especially this part...

Maybe we should all be more honest about who we are and what we want when it comes to finding romance. Being open with your issues may mean that some people don't want to date you. That's fine. After all, Dan — like any single person searching for love — doesn't need a swarm of potential dates. Just one really good one will do. There's a lesson here, about being open-minded, open-hearted, and comfortable with the fact that any relationship has challenges, obstacles, compromises…and rewards.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.
This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.
My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
