I now have my official diagnosis. I'm very very relieved to know for certain that I have A/S and I feel much less alone in the world now

Well HEY, it seems MANY with AS are autodidactic! I am! I was even thinking of starting a company with a similar name. I still may. 8-)

Thanks! i'm still 'lonely' (i.e. - aspie in an NT world, and all that entails) but i'm very happy that I now at least know the cause of my behaviour/perception and that I know i'm not alone in the way I am and think. I would have REALLY worried if the doctor said that I didn't have A/S. I would be going crazy right now wondering what exactly is the matter with me

So how did you go about getting evaluated for AS? Did you have to ask your primary care physician for a referral to a specialist? And what did the evaluation consist of? Be specific!

Congradulations. I bet you're releaved to know that you have it instead of keep wondering if you do or not. I wish I could do that.

Congratulations

Tell us more how you got it - I mean, what you're asked about, how much time it took, what kind of tests you had to deal with...

Btw, I've just realized in what way a neurotypical person would react having read that someone could be so glad to hear that he has a "disorder". Such a person would think (and probably also write on a "normal" forum about this, shocked) that one must be mentally disabled to derive pleasure from awareness of this :lol:
