OK, so I suck at titles.

It's not the first time that someone has said Asperger's to me but today a psych doc said that he thinks I have an ASD and he wants me to take a test (a proper assessment) for it. Now, the last two times someone asked me if I have Asperger's I've looked it up (the first being some time ago and the second being quite recently with my last psychologist) and both times I've not related that well with the symptoms of it, although I guess I can see why the psych might wonder. This apparently doesn't matter to the guy. I agreed to the test if only to prove I haven't got it. I don't think I have. I guess I'm feeling quite frustrated at the moment, both by being persistently told I have something that I don't think I do and perhaps a little by feeling it's a kind of automatic diagnosis for these people (social problem = Asperger's automatic go-to... if you see what I mean).

I bet if I told my mother she probably wouldn't agree either... I'm probably 90% positive she'd go off on one, spouting numerous incidences in my past to disprove it, at least in her eyes, or possibly just a short "no you haven't". 10% might be her taking the phone to her room and phoning my aunt so she can have a self-pity party (you know, where did she go wrong as a mother, why did she end up with a disappointment of a child... not in those words, but that's the vibe, you know?)

Blah. I don't even know what the point of this thread was, just wanted to rant somewhere.
