Ohhhh, yes you're right I did misunderstand. Gotcha now. Well, that was still a very long time ago...a decade? Even if it were a week ago, I think you are correct to question the dx. I mean, you seem to doubt the 'mildness' factor - I'd believe your self evaluation over Brina's. Also, maybe your environment has a lot to do with how you feel about things...IF as you look around, you see everyone has what you want most, (friendships/relationships) but can't seem to get. When in school, it felt to me like everyone in the world had someone, except me. It made having aspergers harder for me to be around such a social setting. (But I'm totally not saying leave school.)

And I totally didn't mean bad parenting - just bad wiring, literally. Neurological wiring or pathways I mean, not your house.

Again, take care!
