Hi TJ,

WELCOME BACK!!!!!

I see no need for you to be apologising at all, afterall YOU were having a really difficult time.
And I, for one, am just really glad you've made it to this stage where things are different but better
I know things must have been really difficult for you without any "answers", despite the involvement of so many professionals, yet knowing there was definitely "something". So please don't be tough on yourself
And now.........maybe not only closure.........but a springboard to move onwards and upwards from??
I'd say that, if it isn't happening already, some things are going to be making a lot more sense to you, and some of those conflicting thoughts about your experiences/feelings might start to resolve a bit. And you can learn to work with/and around the diagnosis, maybe accommodating for it more even, instead of against/in battle with "something".........if that makes sense???
Lot's of strategies people can utilize with managing some of the effects of Aspergers , and you've taken the massive leap of knowing, accepting the diagnosis, and looking to use it to move on!!
So TJ, to me things may not be easy (may be hard at times), but they are looking much more positive and I'm so glad for you
Another big.........WELCOME BACK!!!!
