New and getting diagnosis

aspertic

hello,

I'm new to this forum. I am 54 years old and have had (yesterday), the first part of a two-stage diagnostic process. 

The consultant was very nice, but I feel quite flat about the whole thing. It was almost like I had to justify myself. I recognise much of the Asperger characteristics and it has helped me understand a lot of my life up to now. The next part of the process takes place in a month and will involve "things to do". I'm not sure what this means. I am feeling anxious about the whole thing now. Another thing to fuel anxiety.

  • Dear LMW,  

    if I'm reading you you're medicating a painful feeling of isolation with alcohol.  I get the impression you're a very private person.

    despite the humorous scathing remarks you make about yourself those who've read your posts will know you as one of the stalwarts on this M.B.  You send out sound advice, good feelings to your fellow members.  You're a valued contributor here in my estimation.  

    You have feelings of being on your own with it?  Yes, it's a painful feeling, however f.w.i.w. I think you've won friends here LMW.
