AS and cancer
I've just recently gone through successful treatment for breast cancer and I am extremely grateful I am done with the chemo and cancer free. I was wondering if anybody else had an experience similar to this where I had all of these things I reacted due because of my Asperger's. For instance, I didn't bat an eye when I was told I had to get my breasts removed last year, but I cried like I had lost a friend when I was told upcoming chemo treatments would make me lose my hair. Now I am in that phase where I am healthy, I just look like a completely different person. My hair has grown back darker and curlier. That is messing with my mind a little. Anyway, finally found a forum to opine. ;-)

RE: AS and cancer
You've been through alot jlvice and I applaud you for coming out the other side and surviving.
I think AS can effect our emotional reaction to things, we are a quirky little lot after all 
I'm glad you have found AFF, we've all had our problems and you'll find many understanding people here.
Oh, and adjusting to curly hair? I know that feeling. Mine inexplicably decided to turn from thick waves into a mass of curly "tubes" when I hit 30 and I'm still learning how to deal with it!
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens. And learn to spit...
