Hi everybody,
When I was about 17/18 my lecturer at college told me that he thought that I may have AS as he seen me displaying some of the symptoms, and said that he could get someone from the college to meet with me and make a diagnosis.
I didn't think that anything was wrong; I've always been happy doing my own thing.
When I got home I told my mother what my lecturer had said and she wasn't surprised. She told me that my school teachers had brought it up, but they didn't see it as an issue.
I never had the meeting as I felt that nothing positive could come of it - to get labelled as someone with AS. I have read into AS and relate to the symptoms, but how good is a self diagnosis?
Now, at 32, I have never had a diagnosis but feel as though I am doing ok.
Still weighing up the pros and cons, has anyone found any benefit in getting a diagnosis this late on?
Siva
