Today, I received my first official diagnosis. First time in my life I was really actually diagnosed by modern specialist.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically Asperger syndrome. This diagnosis has only been recognized in our country for the past ten years, and it’s even more challenging to diagnose in women.
This revelation changes everything I’ve worked on until now. I realize that I am not ill or crazy, and my social difficulties have clear explanations. I’m relieved to know there are no medications required for my condition—aside from 5-HTP and GABA—because I truly dislike taking medications.

It feels fantastic! While I understand that this is something I cannot change, I also know that people with high-functioning autism can lead normal lives. The only treatment I need, besides serotonin, is therapy to help me modify my reactions.

I finally learned something I had suspected for years but had not received confirmation for from a specialist. I nearly stopped believing this could be real due to previous misdiagnoses, such as bipolar disorder" identity disorder, and BPD.
The completely different treatment will make me feel better. I got to know that I already doing everything I need (found the right therapist and changing my reactions). My current treatment involves therapy to help me adjust my responses, in addition to serotonin.

It's fantastic! It’s not something I can change, but people with high-functioning autism can live normally.
I got to know something I suspected for years, but didn't have a specialist to say this to me officially. I now understand something I had suspected for years but didn't have a specialist to confirm. I almost forgot that this could be real because I had heard so many labels like psychosis, identity disorder, BPD.

I am shocked, but this is the best news I've received in years. I don't need medications!

Finding the right specialists is crucial. My new therapist is great. And he referred me to a knowledgeable doctor, unlike many other specialists I visited who couldn't diagnose my condition.
And all these costs a lot, but I'll never found out my condition without such option. My sister is amazing person.
