My problem was I didn't look geeky enough. My grades were too good. I chewed my cuticles instead of flapping like a bird. I was the sensitive kid. It's mysterious. I probably know more about Asperger's than a lot of psychiatrists. The painful truth is that most people are mediocre at best and more likely to be incompetent. You can't just be a little bit pregnant. If someone is on the spectrum, their life is gonna be rough. There isn't a little bit of autism in everyone. This is so f'ed up and I only recently started to get obsessed with this topic.
I'll add for a disclosure, maybe some of the younger people will have more normal lives with less stress. I'm not begrudging that possibility. But even those best and brightest don't seem to put trust into everyone involved. They are probably afraid of the adults who were never processed as Aspies. We are sort of the most idealistic and truthful of them all. Just saying. There doesn't seem to be anything done for the undiagnosed. But there will probably be much, much more as I am personally determined to go through the process. I'm working on procuring a first appointment with someone I trust. It has to be someone in it for a love of the game. It just has to also be their profession.
