When I went to my respiratory therapist, I did tell him of my Asperger's Syndrome and he said "that is very rare, you know." I assured him I did know and suggested that just because it is rare doesn't mean it is non-existent. He agreed and we went on to other things.

I think he was just surprised to come across an AS, we tend to forget how rare we are being on WP with others seemingly everywhere.

Yes, she said it in a room of three other people. I of course challenged her,but she quickly and defensively diverted the conversation insisting she was there to help me. Her comment was very un-heplfull. The welfare Manager spoke to her but she has 'no recollection' of the comment.


Fanciful- Over-imaginative, unrealistic, existing only in fancy!!


If there were 3 other people in the room, how can that person deny saying it if there were witnesses? Not to be argumentative, just wondering 8)

Why not create a "Certificate of Aspergers dx" with pretty font and all the trimmings. We could present it to people and say "No, Aspergers is not "fanciful" but this certificate is". Sheesh, some people are so stupid with the things they say.

If there is any question, get them to speak to your doc. You do not have to defend yourself.

Take care,

Damn, that's so wrong! She obviously not qualified for that position. She should be fired.
