| Hi ihgeek and welcome to the wrongplanet. Not everybody wants to be diagnosed and that is fine. I wanted to be, and it came as no surprise when I was diagnosed with Asperger's. Hope this site is useful to you, and enjoy. |

| Hi Nick and welcome to the wrongplanet. I know what you mean about feeling alone. Even when I am involved in some social gathering (which I do not like) I feel alone. I was just recently diagnosed with Asperger's, and this has a big difference in my life. I feel like after all these years, I finally... |

| Hi Matt and welcome to the wrongplanet. I have Asperger's too. A lot of people with it would rather act "normal," but I take pride in being me. I fit in enough with the world that I get by---like it sounds like you have too, but at the same time, people say I am eccentric. I know I am eccentric acco... |

| I have heard others talk about the negativity that can go along with having Asperger's. I may be very naive to this, but I haven't encountered it yet. The thing I get a lot of is, "You? Autistic? I don't believe that since you are a teacher and etc." It's like people expect autism to cause us to not... |

| Hi Sharon and welcome to the wrongplanet. I know it's easy to say "don't be nervous" about your evaluation, but just remember, if you have it---you have it, if you do not---you do not. And it's always been that way. When I was diagnosed with Asperger's, the guy told me, "nothing I can do will ever c... |

| Hi Jwa and welcome to the wrongplanet. It's wonderful that you are wanting to learn about your friends and be better able to relate to them. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was an adult. Since it's very tough for most of us with autism to socialize well, it's great to have neurotypical people... |

| I have Asperger's which was diagnosed when I was an adult. Would I want to get rid of it?---No. So if there was a "cure" I would not take the medicine. I am however beginning some "coaching" sessions so that I can be a better husband and father to my family. Now for my bold statement on autism. I do... |

What you seem to be wanting here is support from adult aspies (based on our experiences) and help for your son as he has transgressed into adulthood. And I think you have found so far that all of... |

| Yes Anonymous, I saw that one on television a few months ago. That was a strange story, one of those that you never forget. I expect doctors will have to remove the smaller fetus from the one year old. Very strange indeed. |
