I emailed this to my psychiatrist who treats me for suicidal depression, social anxiety, and moodiness.
"Hey doc,
this may seem like an out of the blue question: could I have some mild form of asperger's syndrome? I see some of the autistic elements to my thinking (like, hello, where is my executive functions to connect memory to speech to feelings.) And, I never feel intimacy with anyone. But other parts
I don't see in the definition of asperger's: the intense concentration on a single subject... but you have always put me in the ocd category which I never understood so maybe you see something there I can not. Just curious.R."
My doc emailed back a one word reply: "Yes."
I didn't really expect him to say, "yes." I expected, "of course, not." I'm 37 years old. I'm just kinda freaked and thinking "now what?" Any support out there?
