    Routines/details/changes

    Routines seem to give Aspies structure and enjoyment, not the same as OCD which causes intense agitation in the sufferer. I have adhd on a background of Aspergers (diagnosed) and I loathe routines and too much structure, but I wish it were otherwise!! it does not seem to help my impulsivity and...

    Which Asperger type are you?

    This covers just about every PD that's recognised! There are various psychiatrists in Europe who think Aspergers should be classed as a Cluster A PD removed from Autism, while in the UK they want to lump us on the ASD and abandon Aspergers. Is this called Schizophrenia?

    People's lack of support since diagnosis

    When I told a friend I had been diagnosed with aspergers he said he was sorry! I told him that it wasn't terminal cancer and more a way of 'being' in the world.
