Hello everyone,
I'll just cut to the chase. I have had my suspisions about having aspergers for several years, and now I finally been seeking help to find out. But the psykologist I talked too told me I shouldn't think about getting a diagnosis if I function as good as I do, so nothing happened... I felt so let down. I just wanted an answer! So, I turned to an organisation of psykologist and therapists to get help, and after one meeting, he told me he thought I had aspergers tendencies, so he let a more qualified collouege in aspergers syndrom talk to me. And now, after several meetings under a short time, she told me I do have aspergers. It feels like I finally understand myself! I'm just mad, why couldn't I have been diognosed when I was younger? And why did they ignore me when I sought help to get an official evaluation? This sucks!
Well, could someone give me a tip? I'm a Swedish student (20 year old girl), and I study in England, computer animation, and I'm going to stay in a student housing this year again. Everything got so messed up last year because they couldn't understand my personality. Because I have to live with these people for over a year, I think it would be easier for them to understand why I am the way I am if I told them. But how should I tell them? Any advice?
Sorry about all the misspellings, I suck at writing. Even though I have an A in Advanced English...
