...and now I think I should make an introductory post. I'm not really sure what to say. I'm from Perth, Australia. I'm not diagnosed. My mum suggested to my paediatrician when I was 14 that I may have AS (I was unaware of this), the paediatrician ended up agreeing with her when I was 17. In between times I supposedly had ADD which I went along with being oblivious to the suggestion of AS. By the time I was 17 I was nearly finished high school and mum thought there was no point being diagnosed.

Now at 20 the thought of going around to different strangers by myself to get a diagnosis is unpleasant to the point where I'd rather not do it and never know. Even though I really would just like to know for sure. I did read alot about AS and I do fit most of the criteria. I also seem to fit in with what people here say, especially the thread about food obsessions.
