No, I don't think you are the type of person who would feel sorry for herself. However I have found the public in general does not have an accurate idea of what the ASD spectrum entails. Work on your social skills with therapist, even interviewing skills that you will need. Even doctors are not well educated on the spectrum, so I would just stay as far away from the label as I could, because our medical providers have biases, too! And it doesn't seem to affect your medical care.

If having a label or diagnosis attached to you is validating, the decision is yours! Best wishes for your future. I am thinking you will be a success!!
