Well, I had my appointment with the shrink er sorry trick cyclist, and he reckons I'm good to go, if a little geeky, depressed, and universally unpopular. I don't know what to think now, I didn't really want a label but now I don't really know how to explain myself. (I'm not making any sense am I?)

My still just wife, thinks that I fit more of a Schitzoid Personaility Disorder pattern. I've had a look at some of the information, and I think it seems to fit, but a lot of the AS stuff fits as well. I'm beginning to think I'm a complete fruitcake now. Sigh, guess I should wait for the professional diagnosis, whenever that is. Confusing, baffling and troubling times, not sure I wanted to open this can of worms now.

thank you all so much, a little teary, thank you for your support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for your kindness, it is much appreciated

can't offer any particular advice, other than to say you must have been worried sick. If nowt, else, my sumpathies, must be difficult, stay strong. <'>

looks like I got the job. Happy and dead worried in equal measure, also ,feeling self indulgent by annoying you lot with my petty problems. So as I've not done it, big hugs to all here. Hope you're having a not too bad one at least, and take care, will be thinking of you all. And thank you all so much for bothering to listen to me.

thank you all, yes it is a bit odd. Hopefully will be sorted soonest. Finally told my parents that I suspected I was AS, went down like a cup of cold sick, deffo a head sand scenario. Hmmm. Now confused, perhaps I'm not..... Then I'd feel like a complete charlatan.

well, I got the job apparently, but.... they said they didn't have enough work on at the moment to hire me, which is a bit frustrating. I have to say I reckon I did pretty well, how little do they know how much effort it took. So both a bit happier, but also a bit sad, would dearly like to get back to work.

Yep, I'd do that. Not quite as severly as some have described.

It's an IT job, I'm good around nerds! But I don't interview terribly well. I get easily confused and flustered and never sleep the night before. Still at least I got through the fist stage and hopefully I'll make it today.

In the final interview for a job, wish me luck. And thanks for the encouraging messages beforehand.

Caution, you are batting on a sticky wicket there, where would you draw the line between assertiveness and rudness / aggression? It's probably not what you are saying, but how you are saying it.

Think maybe mind was caused by total insomnia last night. Didn't sleep at all.

Hi all, had a bit of a down day today, anyone else have days like this, no real reason, should have been a good day but just felt blurrgh! all day. I hope everyone else had a good one. Why do I get occasional days like this? Perhaps everyone does?

Thanks, I've known for a long time summat was up! Been to see the doctor, and he is happy to refer me. It was a good idea to go armed though, his initial reaction, was, I really don't think so. But with a little ammunition, it wasn't that difficult. I understand your problems, adult AS people (bear in mind I don't have a DX) are often extremely good at masking their symptoms and do not present well as an HFA. Fingers crossed for both you and me both, I will get to the bottom of it this time. I'm fed up of being odd, and would dearly like to know that I'm a bit odd, rather than this hell that I and of course others go through. Best of luck.
