Aspies For Freedom

:oops:
I don't know if i'm autistic or not.
I'd like to get a diagnosis, i think it would help me understand about myself more.
I do work, and i am finding it really difficult at the moment with people misunderstanding me.
I have to have work place appraisals, and discuss how i feel that i perform, these are just torture for me.
As i have a real great difficulty in explaining how i feel to anyone,  how could i ask my doctor for a referral?

At this moment in time, I would personally say think carefully and balance the positives and negatives of getting a diagnosis.

Self dxing can enlighten people, or seeking a meeting with a psych and getting an unofficial dx.
An official dx could have other repurcussions, especially if you are considering having children in the future.

Don't want to alarm you, but its better to be aware of the facts.

:oops:
I do actually have 2 children already, who seem really sociable and well adjusted.
I have a full time job, which i do really well - as long as there are no major changes to cope with, i need routine and sameness or i fall apart.
My main problem at work is when i have to relate to people, particularly about my feelings. I just can't talk about feeelings, i don't know how i feel most of the time. This is sometimes really difficult for my husband, but luckily he is really placid and accepts that i can't easily express my emotion.
I don't know if i have asperger or HFA, but i do think i fit in with a lot of the criteria.
This forum i hope will help to to talk about feelings.

Asperger is HFA really.
Talking about your feelings here is a good idea. :smile:

What repercussions are you talking about, exactly?.

Well you could read many of the other threads here, or come to the chat room and talk to some of us.

Custody issues to be precise, there is a whole website for NT spouses on how to get custody away from AS spouses.
