Self Discovery?

About 10 minutes.   

I had no idea I was different to other people until we had a friend over for lunch and his teacher-wife mentioned I seemed to have all the markers for Asperger's - so my wife rang the doctors and my gp immediately agreed.   Yeah, that obvious - it seems everyone knew but me.

My wife checked with the company health insurance and a diagnosis was covered.

About 10 days later I was diagnosed.

How are you going with it?

With the exception of my mother, who I expect maybe autistic herself, all those close to me seemed to think it was obvious too, one of which works with autistic adults. It was actually a bit frustrating no one had bothered to point it out if it was so obvious. Very jealous of your diagnosis time by the way.

Yeah - annoying isn't it.      Could have saved a lot of heartache.     

My diagnosis all happened around me - I just went for a pleasant afternoon chat where the interviewer went over all the usual questions in the form of a conversation.
