I have the same fear of marginalization or dismissal due to the PERCEP... |

| I think some of the talk about people being over diagnosed and talk about some people "only" having anxiety or "only" being a bit socially off is internalized prejudice against---ourselves. Not saying all of it. But a disorder is a disorder. People get so caught up in their beliefs ASD is bad they ... |

Maybe you should ask the moderators to delete the thread because
1. People will see your name if they link to the article
2. It is a trigger for you
I am sorry that this is happening. If you have not done so already seek help because life should not be over at age 23. |

| I don't think I know enough to comment on this particular case. In general Aspergers is an explanation not an excuse.
