Dr. Tony, I first wanted to say you're my hero and a major reason I realized I have Asperger's Syndrome and finally got a diagnosis. I thought getting a diagnosis and alleviating the egregious misdiagnoses of BPD, NPD, and Bipolar Affective Disorder would relieve some stress, but it seems to have thrown me into a deeper depression and increased my anxiety. Thoughts like, "I'm never going to be normal." and "No one even believes I'm on the Spectrum so what was the point!" keep running through my head. How can I learn to accept this and move on in life? How do I explain myself to friends and family?
Thank You,
Chelsea
Reality is just a shared illusion.
