Post Reply New Topic

I'm nightstar (picked this name because I'm a bit of a nightowl and like to sleep all day/be up all night).

Um, I'm 19, live in Sweden (Stockholm, to be more exact.)

Undiagnosed. Have read about aspergers and it's just... me.

Welcome nightstar to the Wrong Planet.

Hi welcome scandinavian sister.

I'm danish, been here a little while, it's really nice here.

I've been to Stockholm, it is a really nice and green city.

Hi Nightstar and welcome. I work nights and sleep days - so you don't seem weird to me at all!!

Välkommen!
Om du läst om Asperger's och känner igen dig i symptomen kommer du nog känna igen dig ännu mer i vad du kommer läsa här!
Jag har heller inte fått någon diagnos, men som du säger, likheterna kan vara slående.
Förhoppningsvis kan du hitta saker som både roar och hjälper!

Välkommen Nightstar,

I'm living in Stockholm as well - though I am Dutch. As you, I am undiagnosed - I basically self-diagnosed myself the moment I accidentally read about Asperger's and suddenly everything started to fall in place.

Välkommen!
Ganska kul forum, folk som förstår, råd, livserfarenheter, och en massa info om du behöver det.
Jag bor i Göteborg för övrigt.

Hej, Nightstar. Det du beskriver är ganska vanligt. Hade du varit född tidigare hade du inte ens vetat vad det var. Före 1995 ungefär var Aspergers i stort sett okänt t o m bland psykiatriker. Du hade bara känt en väldigt egendomlig känsla av att det var något "fel" på dig men att du inte kunde bli klok på vad det var.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Jag var sjukskriven -96 -> -99 med en vag depressionsdiagnos, blev nu i våras diagnostiserad med AS.

Jag har varit inlagd en vecka för misstänkt psykos, blev utskiven idag. Det känndes ganska bra när avdelningsläkaren sa "du har inte här att göra". Det är jobbigt att bo ihop med psykotiska personer en hel vecka

What do you swedes think about Gillberg?

I have never met him, but based on what I've heard of him, I think he's great. He's often said to have AS himself, by people who know him. In fact, my mother knows his sister-in-law or something like that, who definitely thinks he's an AS.

For a while ago, some psychologist (who isn't a M.D.), demanded to take part of Gillbergs patient records for a so called "scientific reserach". Gillberg though, had promised the patients never to give them out to anybody. Due to that almost every document in Sweden can be given out to the public on demand, or as in this case, "scientific need", he got a court order to give her the records. He didn't though. He burnt them! He was convicted by the court in Gothenburg and also by the appellation court of Western Sweden, didn't get a very hard punishment though. I don't know if it'll go to the Supreme Court or not, probably not.
