Well congrats, PB!! I always wondered about your SSD diagnosis, myself. You're much too cognitively aware, and even with the disorganized thinking, capable of organized thought to have been slotted into that SSD category. The auditory hallucinations must have thrown that original doctor or psychologist who made the diagnosis off. Psychiatric diagnoses are tricky and subtley different, from what I've learned so far, but this news really reassures me, too! Labels sometimes are the hardest things to deal with, aren't they?

I look forward to more of your brilliant quirkiness, encyclopedic curiosity and emotional health! Sounds like you're a very healthy "Aspergerian" as a whole.
