My therapist doesn't believe I have it. He's the one who sent me for a day of testing to a neuropsychologist. The neuropsychologist lays out this long detailed report with a recommended diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome and General Anxiety and my therapist just says "I work with kids who have that every day and I just don't see it in you, you have some "aspergery" traits but the way you carry yourself...I'd just never think you had that."
So it has obviously never occurred to him that as a kid with Asperger's grows up he learns how to get along, blend in, hide his strangeness, adapt as best as he is able. Seriously, all people with Asperger's remain static and unchanging unlike the rest of the population that grows up and matures and learns and adapts?
VERY ignorant, narrow perspective. You have my permission to tell him I said so!
