Happy Birthday to Me!
On this day 1 year ago I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.
During the past year I have:
- Read a lot of books on the subject
- Changed jobs to one which is more suitable
- Had to re-orientate my self-image to include having a disability
- Gone out even less and been even less sociable
- Gone on a gluten and casein free diet
- Start taking a handful of vitamin pills every morning
- Started accepting myself, Aspegers and all.
Last year on this day, I took the day off work and my parents took me to a specialist clinic where I was diagnosed. Then we had sushi for lunch.
This year on this day, I got an award for employee of the month and spent the day in a super-long meeting trying to sort out a big new account.
My life makes more sense now. I am trying hard to work around^H with the Aspergers 'cause it ain't going away. Maybe one day I can even be grateful for it.
