Asbergers treatment?

[pkbarbiedoll]

Hi, I'm 37, mtf, living full time..  I'm socially awkward, always feel like i don't fit in anywhere.. never been dianosed with asbergers but meet a lot of the criteria.

So my question is what do they do to treat people with asbergers?  Padded cell? Lobotomy??  Is there anything they can do at all or do we learn to live with it?

thanks so much

It depends on how bad it is and what your symptoms are. They can treat you with drugs for ADD symptoms. If you're young they can put you in various types of therapy to help you pass among NTs.

The same as any other person- like a person.

The underlying answer to be handled before any other questions is making certain that we impress upon all in our lives- caregivers and others equally is that we are people. No other criteria dare presume to usurp that. And if someone in our lives has a problem in dealing with that fact then we might reconsider how much impact we let them have on our lives! Yes, we cannot choose family,lovers, or many others that "just come to be" part of our lives. We CAN choose how much impact any actions or feelings they cause in or for us we allow to happen. The concept of "diagnosed" frankly puts my teeth upon edge. AsIf we are dehumanised to treatment the way one would a disease or malignancy. It's one of the lovely tricks psych warfare wages upon those it can. Consider it akin to a churchly doctrine of "orginal sin" That being a proclamation of our being inescapably damned for merely being whatever we ARE. Re-examine the concept of any daring to call themselves "normal" and others as "different" where that "DIFFERENT" is in an all caps stigma
