Recently Diagnosed

BlackHatMentor

A subsection for those who have recently been diagnosed would be useful. I personally went through confusion and in all honesty, am receiving absolutely no useful help via the nas. Perhaps a section like this would help people understand what the NAS can, and can not, help with as well as people being able to teach peopel coping mechanisms.

  • I was diagnosed c.9 months ago at the youthful age of 44 and, although I know I am still the same person as I was before the diagnosis, it knocked me completely for 6.  One of the big issues I have is expressing extreme emotions e.g. frustration when you can't believe someone just did something, or even how to acknowledge a simple complement (someone says "that's great" and my aspergers brain says "I know" quite legalistically and then a tug of war goes on inside my header wondering how I should react).  I am a Christian and I have an outlet of music - playing in Worship bands gives me an amazing peace.  This may seem strange if you are not a Christian, but if you are you may appreciate that it's like having a direct line to God, 1:1 contention in ADSL Speke, and at that point of diagnosis I heard a voice from God saying "I've always know you were aspergers, that's why I gave you a gift to expressing your emotions through Worship to me".  This isn't a preachy spot, just MY REALLITY.
