| Congrats with finally getting diagnosed. The diagnose itself is not by any means anything to cheer about of course, but the good thing is that now being diagnosed things will hopefully make more sence to you, and also now knowing your struggles caused by your "diagnosed difference" you are now able... |

| Hi and welcome from me too (quite new here myself). So far I've only discussed my aspies (easier name for it) with my family (mother and sister). No surprises there, they always knew I wasn't exactly normal. If I do decide to share it with anyone else I know off here I'll be inclined to also give a... |

| Hi ArtAttack, welcome aboard!. You are definitely not alone here. I am a semi-undiagnosed 51 year old. My son was diagnosed with Asperger's when he was 7 and his doctor strongly implied that I likely have it as well. I also always come up as "very likely" on the various online tests available. My l... |

| Toy Soldier It is a hard economy, but degrees are still quite necessary for certain jobs, if you are thinking about employment options. Toy Soldier, I agree about needing a degree for certain jobs. The art world is one of those so/so areas. It used to be that the MFA was the gold standard (sort-of ... |

| Nice to meet you! I have trouble with receptive and expressive language also. Your ideas for dealing with it near doctors sound good. I also find bringing someone with me (when possible) is very useful. My daughter wants to be an artist when she grows up. Do you have advice for her? ***************... |

| Welcome to Wrong Planet! I had to look up what NT meant, I think neurotypical (normal) is correct? The psychoogist told me that the Aspergers term is not longer being used, so I have the HFA/Severe or Level 3 Diagnosis. I am assuming what I have is what you have, just two different labels? I am gla... |

| [quote="kraftiekortie"] I wish I could be a visual artist like you. I played alone all of the time as a child, and just drew things over again, like ten, twenty thirty times or more until I was satisfied they were like the original. My mother accused me of tracing. I hear there are people ... |

| kraftiekortie and opal, Thanks for the reassurance that I am indeed at least not pissing off a bunch of young people here. Not that I have ever remained in my peer group anyway. :-) I am learning about what to do slowly, self advocating is one of the hardest things. I have been telling doctors for y... |

I am currently wrapped up in studies, and not sure what to do, but am being pro-active and trying to notify my... |
