AS is big. I seem to have a fair dose of it. There is so much that Nearly everything in the book seemed to fit: I am shy, I'm introverted, I'm too intelligent for my own good, I'm divorced from reality and therefore schizophrenic, I have OCD, I have bipolar, I am delusional, I am paranoid, I am a geek, I am a loner, I am depressive, I am clumsy, I am thoughtless, I am a ($%$#@) moron, I am heartless, I am unemotional, I am. . . .
And it is not that a great deal of these didn't fit. All if them fit. But an I a Chinese menu of mental illneses? What of Occam's Razor? All of it was too much go explain too little. And none of the stuff above gave me any clear ideas of what to do with me.
AS wraps it all up. It wraps up all that I am, and all that I have lived. My working hypothesis was far worse than AS!
my thoughts exactly....
