Hello c:

[Effy]

I'm Effy, a 23-year old creative from Texas. I blog and do a lot with blogging and things related to blogging.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at a young age, and before insurance ran out (and other mess), I was in the process of being reexamined for a diagnosis to see if Asperger's Syndrome is still accurate or if a different diagnosis on the spectrum fits more... not sure if that makes sense?

In a nutshell, I'm a clumsy spazz who freaks out over everything, as well as who over-analyzes everything, trips walking upstairs, runs into walls, and trips over flat services. I also am allergic to almost everything, but I don't live completely allergy-free, because I prefer to not be "Bubble Girl". I also suffer from severe anxiety, a phobia of law enforcement and authority, Major Depressive Disorder, and PTSD.

Anyways, erm, that's me.

 

[Peace]

Hello Effy,
No need to freak out here, you are among friends. We all have things that set us apart, or we would not be here, Aspies or not. I hope that, like me, you find your place here. I am at home here, simply because I actually fit in, and am accepted.
Looking forward to future conversations. Have a good day.

Hiya Effy!

Don't worry; you make sense. We all know about the label-shuffling the DSM-V did. I imagine that Asperger's wasn't phased out as a diagnostic term overnight, and people are still familiar with it. If it's truly going to be done away with, it will take at least a year or two for most people to adapt to the change.

hmm, severe anxiety, a phobia of law enforcement and authority, Major Depressive Disorder, and PTSD?
Now that's my kind of people. Welcome to the Spazzfest.

Welcome to AC...
sounds to me like you fit right in
hope to see you blog here soon!

Trust me...a Spazzfest would be nothing without the proper guidance of a true Master of Disaster

Thanks for all the welcoming!

With the freaking out, I meant I spazz and over think everything.

Yeah... for me, it's not really having anything to do with the DSM-V's changing of things; it's just to check it for general reasons, because PTSD treatment for someone without an ASD differs from someone with one, and it's just something to help with treatment.
