If you were diagnosed at an age when you remember the date of you diagnosis, do you celebrate that date every year? Or observe it? If you do, how do you do it?
And for those who don't remember or were too young too remember, do you have a special day that you set aside in observance of the day you found out or were told?

I don't even remember it. Celebrating anniversaries of things always seemed silly and pointless to me.

Birthdays in particular. "Congratulations, you haven't died yet! Here's a present."

In regard to the OP: I don't remember the date of my Asperger's diagnosis----and, it was only about 5 years ago----but, by then, I had had so many OTHER diagnoses, that I was like "whatever".

My very FIRST diagnosis was PDD-NOS, and I don't remember the date, but I remember the YEAR, because it was the start of "everything"; but, I don't "celebrate" it.
