I am tired of therapists and phycatrists telling me that i am scoring high on all these tests and i am possible for being all these different things like having asberger syndonerome or something. I just thought that i was seeking help and finding answers..instead i find all these other things wrong with me, i never use them as excuses...because i no they are not truly who i am. I know the real me would not appreciate this. instead i feel like this is tearing me apart inside and it hurts. I am so confused.?♥?

I'm a bit confused. When you're told you have a certain condition, that's not meant to limit you in any way. It's meant to provide you with a means to help yourself if necessary. If you went through life not knowing you had Asperger's but you still experienced the symptoms, you wouldn't know what to do. Once you know exactly what the deal is, you have ways to live with it. That's my take.

Of course, it's the completely wrong attitude to think that there's something wrong with you simply because you have something other people don't. Everyone has something "wrong" with them. There really isn't such thing as being normal.

Speaking as an aspie it's just a label like any other, you don't have to live to it just like you don't have to live up to the labels of thug, punk, prep or skinhead. They're just words. They only define you as much as you let them, not some doc in a white coat.

A diagnoses is a collection of symptoms, nothing more. I know its difficult when everyone is throwing out their opinion. You have to remember though, you are a person not a disorder. Don't define yourself based on a label.
