Now I have to admit I haven't been around for awhile but I have reasons.
I personally have been very introspective about my relationship with AS.
It evolved into thinking about what Asperger's is at it's heart.
Not to mention the impasse I'm at with my life. I'm working on going back to college but right now I'm in the mental health system which is a total nightmare. I hate my clinician who is a psychologist assigned to me who seems to believe I'm a borderline personality disorder case which is beyond stupid for several reasons. 1. Borderline is an extremely poorly defined illness hence it is often called the garbage can diagnosis. 2. I am not an attention whore. 3. I like being alone which is the exact reverse of classic BPD. I do have Bipolar which means I have mood swings and I used to be a SI but nothing else fits. Asperger's isn't even considered at all but I don't expect it to be. Basically the problem is I have people constantly playing mind games with me saying what my issues are and what I don't have ( in this case Asperger's) I came up with the answer myself anyway. Asperger's is a syndrome on the autism spectrum obviously but sometimes you just need to look at the things one by one. 1. Social Issues 2. Obsessive/Rigid thinking 3. Sensory Issues 4.Motor Skills 5. Area of Strength....hmm...Sounds like me. Anyway I just need to rant about my issues with both understanding my Asperger's and trying to deal with others reactions.
All this bullshit with BPD has left me where seeing the words makes me angry.
Besides someone might find use for this.
