So,
How usual is it to think you have Aspergers, long for a diagnosis, get a diagnosis, and then start to doubt your diagnosis and the fact that you have aspergers?

I imagine that is fairly common post-diagnosis, if you are borderline on the spectrum, and/or have managed to "pass" as NT for years.
Also if others have been giving you their opinions on whether you are or not, that must be difficult. I am in two minds about whether to even tell anyone because I don't want to have to keep explaining myself, and having people telling me who or what I am is a surefire way to rile me!
Did you get offered a post-diagnosis support group?
So,
Has anyone else had trouble doubting their diagnosis after they've got it?
Does that experience resonate with anyone else who has been diagnosed?
I would guess that all of the people that didn't think they have it would have gone elsewhere rather than hang out in the forum. You're asking a question of a highy selective sample of people.
