I just went for my assessment this morning, and a clinical psychologist said that she'd support a diagnosis of Asperger's. I'm very happy about this!
...that's all I wanted to say.

Lucccckkkkkeeeeyyyyyyy!! !

I only have fake aspergers status, but it's about a grand cheaper than real aspergers status so I'm okay with that, lol. Fake ones tend to be more inaccurate, though, lol.

It's good to be happy, I guess, but you were just as much a "real" aspie before you got the piece of paper than you are now. The doctor's pronouncement doesn't suddenly make one an aspie.

Oh shush.

Unless this means I get a magic paper that makes me a "real" aspie too.
