Feeling in denial

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not sure if I ever feel in denial, exactly, but I certainly feel doubt. Part of this has to do with the frustration of being in this sort of weird limbo between professionally diagnosed and self-diagnosed, probably. If and when I get a truly "formal" diagnosis that will probably lessen some of the self-doubt but surely not all, since I doubt pretty much everything about myself at times.

How would one go about proving it? Presumably some kind of statistical analysis that showed the Aspie traits really do cluster together in individuals? I was thinking that it could be tested by taking a group of people known to have one particular Aspie trait, and looking at how well the other traits could be predicted in those people. Something similar to testing the validity of astrological signs, perhaps.
