I had a huge problem getting diagnosed.
They wanted to diagnose me with AS, I didn't want them to.

I had long suspected that I might be autistic. When reading about autism, it all felt very familiar. However, I was not profoundly disabled, so I chalked it up to an active imagination. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling. It wasn't until years later that I heard about Asperger Syndrome, and I knew almost instantly that I had solved the puzzle. Still, I read everything I could get my hands on, and became convinced that either I had Aspergers or I was crazy. I sought the diagnosis, in part to ease my own mind (I don't want to be crazier than I have to be!) and in part to prove it to my family, who suspected me of believing that I had the "malady of the moment." For me, being diagnosed was the right thing to do.
