Mmm, I've got a really good doctor now. She's so good it takes a month to get an appointment, but it's worth the wait. XD;
She agrees that I'm unstable, and so does my (also good) psychiatrist. @_@

My GP lets us in pretty quickly, and I go about twice a day to see him for... I don't know. o.O I just go to the doctor a lot.
My paediatrician and psychologist are good doctors. They actually take me seriously. ._.
My GP told us we should probably go to some hospital clinic thing for my Asperger's and my brother's. NOT ANOTHER STUPID DOCTOR THAT TELLS ME I'M PERFECTLY FINE. ._.
like the neurologist ._.

...you do have Asperger's? o_o; Wow, so do I.
They keep trying to send me to this school for kids with Asperger's.
It's so annoying. I control mine quite well, but they still label me "gifted".
>>;
The school, that is.

Yes, they changed their mind or something and decided I have it. o-o; It's good because they've been trying to work out what all my individual "problems" were, but when they decided it as Asperger's, they weren't just individual, they were actually related. They've thought I had cerebal palsy, motor dyspraxia, autism, etc. etc. >.<
I haven't been told to go anywhere but back to normal classroom activity. >.O; Which is exactly what I don't need right now.
I'm fairly high-functioning, too. Probably the doctors never picked mine up for such a long time because of that - because I've always managed mine so well up until now when I finally snapped.

Mine was diagnosed around birth. They blame everything I do on it. ._.
I honestly think they just use it as an excuse now. >>;

I sort of resisted being diagnosed with anything because I didn't see the purpose of a label. Only I've got the opposite situation - I think people see it as I blame everything that happens to me on my eye or my Asperger's or my depression or my OCD or anything else, and that's partly why they want me back at school; they think I'm trying to get out of school and using this as an excuse, which is total BS, of course. If I didn't need this time at home to recover from my anxiety, I wouldn't be trying to get it.
The doctors who have previously told me I have so many "problems" are the ones who tell me that I'm perfectly fine and I can manage and I need to develop resilience and that I should see them just as part of me. D< I did, and do, but they're the ones who make a huge deal of it.

The people around me constantly insist that I have a serious case of Asperger's, and need help because of, despite how it barely affects me in the least. Meh. Sometimes I think it's not such a bad idea to go to that school - at least I wouldn't be sacrificing my grades.

My grades have always been best when I've been in a "gifted" class. My grades were As last year, but they were Cs and Ds when I was in a mainstream class.
People dramatise me. It's not like I'm incapable of moving. ._.;

I achieve abnormally high grades when I put in a bit of effort. That's the surprising part though - I normally put no effort whatsoever into my schooling, yet I'd usually come out on top. Not necessarily above everyone else, but way above the average for my classes.

Same here. I never study, and it's a rare occasion if I do my homework. >_<; However, I seem to have a lucky ability to just remember stuff, which is probably how I pass my tests. If we didn't get graded on our exams, though, I would probably have to repeat. ><

I have a great long term memory, and I usually learn most of the answers to my exam questions long before the actual exam, so that's an advantage for me. ^_^

Ditto. My short-term memory is horrendous, partly because I go into trances so much. If you asked me what I was doing five minutes ago, if I'm not doing the exact same thing, chances are I won't remember. But, if you ask me about years ago and such, I usually know.

Likewise! We're so similar in many different ways. <3
