I told my closest friend about my Aspergers finally about two weeks ago. She said she believed me, and it explained a lot. My main fear has been people not believing me.
Her husband apparently does not believe it and does not think it is me. This makes me sad because he is my friend too.
She and I had a session with Phil my therapist together just to make sure everything was understood, but hardly talked about Aspergers at all so I guess it was OK. LOL.
Phil said one of the things is I am so high functioning it is hard to tell I have it and most people probably will never know. So he always sort of waves his hands about the diagnosis like it is not a big deal. Which bugs me.
I guess the important thing is I know. It is important to me because it explains so many things I have lived with all my life. It explains part of what makes me well, me.
How would you handle someone who does not believe you?
