I was diagnosed with it as a teen and after that, I let it become my identity. I went from being just some weird teen to a teen with Aspergers. Every quirk, every behavior, I attributed to Aspergers.
Then, I decided not to. I decided that I was tired of Psychologists telling me who I was and I was tired of letting it define me. I accepted myself for who I was and threw away Aspergers and never looked back and I am much happier and more confident in myself than I was when I was a girl with Aspergers. Now, I'm a girl with strange habits and unique quirks.
My point is, don't let what people say about Aspergers be a prod at your identity. You are you, you are a person who has Aspergers and nothing more. Don't vest so much of your emotional energy into what is, a diagnosis of your behaviors and thought processes. It's only an explanation of the you that you are, it's not you.
IIN to hate when people say I'm suffering from Asperger's Syndrome
