Nope. Not me. There was a Kahless on WP, iirc. Probably the same person.
If it was me, why would I login as someone else? I don't get the publicity, then.
I guess McJagger is wrong.

that could be anyone though really in all fairness...

point is unless the webmaster gets original documents from the people who write these DX reports, its not gonna be 100% accurate...

in response to the original question now: xD

if i was 7 years younger i could tell you the reasons why i am AS, but now i am finding it bery difficult to explain my AS'ness.
its weird but i guess i have "grown out" of most of my old AS traits or that they're just taking a back seat for the mo, i dont know but i find it intruiging that even tho this is hapopening i'm still getting DLA :D lol

Your letter looks like mine with all the Axis things.  What do those mean?  I have a couple of things under each of them with the "Rule Out" beside some of them, and I don't understand if it means it was ruled out or if they're still poking my brain to rule them out. 

Also, it says I need cognitive behavioral therapy.  Has anyone done any of this and was it a big waste of time, or was it useful?

its what is affecting you the most, i think it can be 1,2,3,4,5... rule out means that you need to have another evaluation done. i've never heard of cognative therapy, so i don't know what that entails. even though i do have a cognitive disorder  :laugh:

Crazy stuff, huh? Whenever you see a psych in the US, they'll give a diagnosis based on the 5 Axes.
Here's a website that might explain it for you: http://www.mental-health-matters.com/articles/article.php?artID=1
Basically (I'll summarize from the link)
Axis 1 = Clinical Disorders including mood disorders
Axis 2 = Personality/Mental Retardation Disorder (why lump these into one category, I don't know)  This includes sociopath, narcissism etc.
Axis 3 = General medical condition.  Got any health issues like diabetes?
Axis 4  = Psychosocial and environmental problems
Axis 5 = Global Assessment of Functioning aka GAF:  "This is a number from 1-100 that reflects the caregiver's judgment of the overt level of functioning" ie how're you doing with you activities of daily living?

Asperger's would be an Axis 1 diagnosis, I believe, although I haven't checked my own diagnosis lately so can't remember offhand.

Cognitive Behavrioral Therapy aka CBT is a kind of talk therapy, where a psychologist helps you reprogram your thoughts into more positive ones.  I've been recommended for it but the thought of sitting with a psychologist for an hour a week talking about - well anything really - is not something I'd like to spend my time doing.  Not being into forming relationships and all.

Oh yeah - R/O = rule out =
that's the MD's way of saying "It could be 'x' but I don't know for sure".
