Well... As usual, when I have the most to blog, I do the least blogging, Bad Nastassja.
This morning I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse, Deb Orman. After I updated her on what had been going on in my life, she started getting strong suspicions that I may have Asberger Syndrome. She wants me to read up on it so I can get a better sense of whether this is me or not.

( What is Asperger Syndrome? )

I'm not sure how I feel about this... I've kind of gotten the sense that treatment for Aspergers basically consists of learning to cope. If I were clearly an ADHD case, I could just take on Ritalin and go on my happy way... But I'm really hoping that having an accurate diagnosis will speed up this "trial and error" process so I can move on with my life more quickly.
We were running out of time at the appointment today, so we didn't really get a chance to discuss what the next step would be. I am going to be taking some tests with John Pribble (sp?) to help with this and other diagnoses... Until then, I'll be seeing a lot of my library card and/or Barnes and Noble.

In other news, five minutes after I sent Dad an e-mail informing him that Patrick and I were considering going the rest of the way on our camping trip, Patrick told me that he had decided he doesn't want to. Yay, embarassment for nothing! I sent Dad another e-mail telling him this, but he'll probably still want to talk to me when he gets home. Blech.
