Mulling over my memories of past life experiences as well as taking online tests, I'd say that it's quite probable that I am on the spectrum. However, getting a doctor to see me as I do is a whole other topic. I'd love a DX (not necessarily in writing). I think it would be beneficial, especially if I could get some real world training to get along with NTs. Something that's been a major obstacle since I was a little girl. We'll see, because I have yet to find a doctor under my current healthcare plan who recognizes older adults on the spectrum.

I was "unofficially" diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 12, officially diagnosed with social anxiety disorder when I was 18, and I'm hoping to get an official Asperger's diagnosis maybe next summer.

It was suspected when I was in a psych hospital 20 years ago. It was officially diagnosed just a few months ago.
