Thanks for the link, that was an interesting read. Although I'll be honest and say some of it was a bit nebulous [like "dressing comfortably" - huh?] :P

Just a bit OT, but I guess another difficulty with getting an official confirmation of ASD is that sometimes there's the ability to learn compensatory social skills and the like. It makes diagnosing hard, and it's doubly harder when there's another complicating issue like sza. I have managed to learn social skills on my lonesome but it took a lot of trial and error on my part [emphasis on error], and lots of my behaviours towards other people are just things I've aped from observation or what I've noted is the social norm.

I wish there was a place around my area where they could do adult ASD DXs but unfortunately everyone here does children only. Guess I'll just have to go along with what I have so far!
