Loosing the AS diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Drives me NUTS when I see this. I cannot understand why doctors do

this, or why anyone accepts it, but whatever, I won't argue about

what they are all thinking. But I have to say<> I am an Aspie, and,

even though I can APPEAR fantastic, and very neurotypical (OK<

Sometimes I just can't 'shut up' but I do try:) *smile* I still,

neurologically am an Aspie.

That cannot be changed (as far as I can tell, anyway)

I am happy that these children that do 'loose' the dx, are doing so

well. That is fantastic. I love hearing that.

I just hope that in the future if they have issues, some one doesn't

start to label them (weird, annoying, lazy, depression, anxiety, bi

polar) all that good stuff. Hopefully things go well for them. It

does help when at least the child understand who they are. I think

that helps a great deal, so if they have issues, they won't have to

worry as much about them.

Ok, that was just my gripe.

Now I am not saying anything bad about anyone, I just hate it when

someone tells me, " well, you are no longer an aspie: because,,, look

at how well you are functioning! " and I heard it recently, and

thought I would mention that!

Silly, huh? I don't complain about much, but if I see a 'young'

child loose a diagnosis, then I might *smile* the Kids " IN college "

that are doing fantastic,,, well, what can I say, that IS fantastic.

(They are still aspies, though, but they have managed to navigate in

the N.T. world, and they deserve some credit for that~)

OK, Hope you don't mind me 'releasing' a bit of my frustration

there. I just don't have anyone to complain to (and I don't like to

complain to anyone. Pretty good huh?)

Ahhhh, Much better. as long as no one takes this the wrong way. hehe

*smile*

But now I don't have to complain to the doctor I just talked to!

*grin*

Hope you are all doing well!

We have TONS of rain, wind and ice here in Maine! IT is pretty scary

at times, but pretty interesting too!

*feeling better*
