Aspergers - really?

Deerstalker

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?
