Yes there are and same back at ya!

It seems it's not really about having any opinions of any conditions, it's just frustrating when people take one look at you and decide your whole life story. It hurts to be not autistic and be told over and over that you are, and it hurts to actually have aspergers and been told several times that you have not.

For me it is a huge trigger that people assume what I am or not, I think it can be for several people. It does something to you when people assume, it's like it tries to take away from who you are deep inside and that is so painful. Even though they can't actually change who we are, we still feel hurt and threatened.

This can go really deep. I have a rift in my personality because of this. It is like a part of me sort of split off because I was told too often I was what I am not.

So I really understand how painful this can be.

I haven't been able to mend this wound so I can't tell you what would help. I wish I could because I hate seeing people hurting over these things. That are just because of some random people's blurted out words that they might forget the next second. Yannow...
