One step at a time

Today, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Although I am very happy in a sense and feel that there is finally an explanation for the past, this issue is not conducive to my adjustment to society. FML

You can learn to read people. It is a skill. Although, with Aspergers it may be more challenging.

Please don’t say “sorry” like it’s cancer. I have it too, and while the syndrome does sometimes make life hard, finally knowing what you can’t place your finger on all that time before helps idiosyncrasies make sense, and becomes a filter to help you see your way to fit into the world. I used it as a way to help me adapt, adjust and correct actions that originally made life harder, or helped me be flexible enough to co-exist with what I perceived as a society that endorsed habits of frivolous nonsense and rituals, and it made me able to better interact, filter my communication and identify and empathize with those around me. It’s not a curse, it’s not a “blessing”. For most, it becomes a way of life and is a tool that is useful for coexisting with the rest of society. Stop treating autism and autism-like traits as a curse and a horrible thing. It’s just different

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a specialist you like that can help you. Also, remember, life is not overly easy for anyone. You're not alone in feeling separated from society sometimes. (heart)
