" personally, I have had such suspicion for a while now, to the extent that I know you. You seem to struggle as one with Asperger's might struggle and it is great that this has come to light.

There IS a large group for that here on DS and here is some good info on it on the Internet:

And ... we love you no matter what 'we' all have. "

" I'm new to this depression support group and I've been diagnosed with Aspergers also. I don't really agree that I have it but apparently I do, so all I can say is that make sure the person who diagnosed you was qualified and didn't just jump to random conclusions. "

" I was better off when I didn't know. I had some problems at times breathing. I just passed it off. Had my gallbladder out back in September and almost died because the stupid doctor did not read the lung x ray and heart thing a mig jig.

Now, $50,000.00 later, a stack of bills you wouldn't believe I find out I have PULMONARY HYPERTENSION of all things. No cure and certain death without a lung transplant.

The right side of my heart is already enlarged from the stress of pumping blood back to my lungs. This is caused by my lungs and from smoking years ago.

I wish a million times I didn't know. I have googled this mess so much until I can't sleep. Some things you are better off not knowing about especially if you can't get cured. "
