I made a good word count for Nanowrimo today so I feel a little better about things.

And yes, heck, it is such a difference being diagnosed as an adult compared to those who were diagnosed young. I'm actually thankful I wasn't diagnosed young even if it was hell sometimes.

It is quite weird when someone squeezes you into the asperger's mold. In the decision I have that grants me some weekly support, I had to contact the decision makers and make them omit some stuff they put in. I think they did just because I am an aspie so I must have those traits. Like it said: "Jimi socializes only on their own terms. Others have to do what Jimi says in social situations."

I'm sure some aspies are like that. I have some aspie traits that are quite extreme surely, but this is not one of them. I socialize IRL to 80 % on OTHER people's terms. I have had to work with being more assertive, when it doesn't matter for me, my friends can decide and I will just tag along. I am quite flexible. I have very, very poor boundaries with some of my friends. They can basically walk in and rearrange my apartment (well almost).

I very rarely boss people around. I only take charge in very extreme situations where someone might get harmed or something bad might happen.

Anyway, I wonder why I would get lost in an area where I lived almost half my life, and most of those years with no assistance. Did they think I never went outside, ever? That stuff puzzles me.
