Thank you so much i definitely feel a lot better about myself after reading your post!

As much as i would like to be re-evaluated just to know the truth, i agree with you that it is just a label. I tried to be re tested all throughout high school, but my parents wouldnt allow it. (Special ed teachers approached me in front of my friends, teachers treated me differently after finding out, etc and i wanted nothing to do with it anymore). I also had no academic impairment, yet they insisted that i keep it because "your just pretending to be someone else so you fit in" and "one day you'll relapse and be just like sheldon cooper on the big bang theory". Needless to say that was very hurtful coming from my own parents . They also said i would need the IEP in college, which was a lie, no such thing exists, and ive had over a 3.0 for the last 3 semesters with no help at all.

At any rate the thought of it never leaves my head now i constantly worry about how i come across to others and that im socially inept in some way that will prevent me from accomplishing my major goals in life. Like i dont believe that im markedly socially impaired (ok im a little bit of a weirdo ) but im afraid/paranoid that i could be wrong.

I just think its interesting that like no one has ever asked me if i have ASD. Even a therapist with a masters degree sat face to face with me for how many hours and never picked up on it. And so ive never told anyone who actually knows me in real life. All it ever does is cause them to start judging the **** out of everything i do and start talking to me like im an animal or something.

And dont worry about going off topic, im sure my past couple ramblings havent been much better

Thanks again
