So.....received my Aspergers diagnosis today

Felix1974

Hi All,

Further to my posts introducing myself last week, I received a diagnosis for Aspergers today. 

Can't say that this is the biggest surprise in the world . 

In a way I'm relieved. I know now that I'm not just odd and I can start to research the condition further and build on the coping strategies that I have used for decades .

This should help me with all areas of my life , family , work , hopefully social .

Not sure what else to say right now, just processing the day's events.

  • Hi Peachi,

    I am back in the office after the Bank Holiday now (I was in two hours ago actually as find it easier to work through emails when nobody else is here)

    You're right , my drive is lacking right now. I think that is probably more to do with constantly thinking about the diagnosis and no time or inclination being left for anything else.

    I think the first thing I need to address is anger management. The way I react to the seemingly smallest events has to be addressed. There is always someone on hand to tell you "not to sweat the small stuff" but as you know it's not quite that easy. 

    However, I'm confident that if I can address the mental side of things , it may allow me to put the physical effects (shortness of breath, brain fog) in check as these are often more damaging to my day.

    I'm sorry to hear about your Sunday meltdown and I agree that over thinking can be as much an issue as not pausing to think at other times. I've been guilty of it myself since last week, suddenly over analysing every thing that I've done.

    It's a winding road isn't it?
