I have Aspergers... So What?

Description

It's true, I was professionally diagnosed back when I was 6, and to be quite honest, it's not a big deal to me. It does annoy me somewhat when people misdiagnose themselves for attention, as they kind of give people who have actually been professionally diagnosed a bad name, but other than that, I could care less.

I actually had a hard time finding a stamp like this, that conveys my attitude on it, so that's why I made my own. It seems all of the other stamps out there focus on pride, self-loathing, or simply calling out people who misdiagnose themselves. There were exactly 0 that were apathetic in any way, shape or form. Now you may ask why I made this stamp if I claim to be apathetic. Good question, the answer is that I'm not entirely apathetic, just mostly. ;)

Anyway, thanks go out to zilla774 for his great stamp template. :) You can find it here: zilla774.deviantart.com/art/St…

EDIT: I was recently assessed by a neuropsychologist, and had my diagnosis reaffirmed as "Autism Spectrum Disorder without language or intellectual impairment". "Asperger's Syndrome" is no longer a professionally-used diagnosis, but it is my opinion that it can be used as another name for what is known as "Autism Spectrum Disorder", and that it is NOT a separate or different condition, so my point still stands.

Case in point, Aspergers = Autism.
