.... fearful that I will manipulate things in the hope that she will say: do you know, I wonder if you have aspergers? Which no doubt, will not happen.
So, how do you, knowing what you know about aspergers, go to a professional for something else, manage to keep quiet or just answer questions, rather than manipulate things, so that the therapist may think aspergers?
Obviously if she asks me questions and comes to the conclusion herself, that is one thing, but what I am fearful about is that my 'expert" knowledge about aspergers will get the upper hand and will end up coming across as pretty arrogant.
How does one deal with going to a psychiatrist anyway?
