    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    Hello, I literally just got my diagnosis 5 minutes ago over the phone.

I went in to get a possible diagnosis for Aspergers because...

    Free Cookies

    Once upon a time a few days ago, I decided I'd bring some cookies to work and give them away. I thought it would be a nice thing to do, but moreover I thought it would be a cheap way to buy some stock with people and to meet people I haven't met before. After all, free cookies: what could...

    Autism & Doctors

    So I had a doctor that basically tried to blame a meltdown I was having due to frustration on being manic. He's stopped listening to me now, saying "that's the mania talking". Anyone have a similar occurrence? What did you do to counteract?
