...instead i started in the chatroom...go figure.
my name's Derek. And i had this question: Can you be misdiagnosed with aspergers?
It seems to me that my mom can convince others that i have aspergers, but i cant. I was first "diagnosed" with aspergers Sept. 2002. But the thing was it said they didn't want to rule out aspergers, that didnt mean i had it. They wanted to do more tests on me. But my mom didnt want to pay the money, so she just assumed i had it, as did the rest of my family...including myself. But some things keep happening to me that says otherwise. everytime i go to message boards and chatrooms and explain why i still live with my mother and tell them i have aspergers they tell me i don't have it, in fact ive even been called a "troll". Even some friends of mine on Myspace wont believe it because they don't see the "signs". Ive even been "tested" via chatroom without my knowledge by someone who knows someone with aspergers, according to her, i don't have it.
Do i have it...i dont know anymore, all i do know is that ill be 40 this year and still live at home with my mom, never could live on my own, never could have a wife or at least a girlfriend, no woman ever even wanted to date me,, never could have a job, never could socialize, so aspergers was the only logical conclusion.
To show yall i am who i say i am, id like to link yall to my Myspace and/or Facebook. If you can do that here, can i? On some boards you can't.
Someone was trying to answer my questions in the chatroom and the dialouge screen kept going so fast, i couldnt catch her responses, i was only able to catch glances at it, when shed start off her responses with "Anon" (apparently that was my name), i made her feel uncomfortable when i PMd her, i did that because, seeing out of only 1 eye, i ididnt have to be distracted by other dialouges and stuff. I was missing half of what she was saying. I just thought a one on one thing might be easier on me, so i can concetrate more on she was saying. I'm really sorry, if i made you feel uncomfortable. I better just stick to the boards, chatrooms are fun, but with my eyes, i just cant do it.
Anyrate, this is my first post...and what a first post. so much for a first impression, right?

I'm glad you're here. I'm not sure how someone could diagnose you for certain over the internet, but this is a good place to see if your reactions seem to be a lot like ours or not. Say hi to your mom for me.
