Hi TJ, if we're talking Aspergers it doesn't have to be "bad" , there can be plenty of (sometimes really simple) "day-today" adjustments you or others around you can (if needed) make in reducing sources of anxiety and in minimising anxiety levels. And some of it can even come down to basic manners of communication.
And if you were diagnosed with Aspergers that doesn't make you "less of a person" in any way. You're still you, with all the good qualities we know you have.
You know.......compassion, understanding, insight.................remember??
