I have not been diagnosed with either autism or Asperger's syndrome, but I once had someone I know come up to me and ask me, point blank, if I had Asperger's. *shrug*
I saw a psychologist once, a long time ago, because I thought I had ADD and both my mom and my doctor said it was impossible with my grades and at my age (16 at the time, 17 now.) The psychologist basically refused to talk about anything that might be wrong with me, preferring to explore my relationship with my mother. He said he didn't believe labels and drugs were the answer. The subject of ADD was dropped after the first session, and autism/Asperger's never came up. He kept asking me what I wanted to do with my life, and telling me to go do it. So I stopped going, because I can ask myself that for a lot less than he charged. :-P |
