Good evening all
I'm 30 years old, self-diagnosed Aspie/HF autism. All my life I've experienced symptoms of Aspergers, but only considered the condition at age 21 when my university tutor suggested I may be autistic. Well, I cried and lived in denial, however recently I have been considering an official diagnosis.
(i) I don't want to feel like an imposter
(ii) I would like to be able to explain to neurotypicals, in a succinct way, that my social aversion is not an indication that I do not like them personally.
Would you advise that I seek an official diagnosis?
