Honestly, no one other than myself and WP knows. I probably should be formally diagnosed, but to what end? I feel really uncomfortable telling anyone about it, too.

Why the secrecy? It is because I found out about it during a major life transition that is still occuring. I am in my mid-thirities and I am focused on my transition, so explaining (or even understanding) my AS gets short shrift.
