Anyone else here with breast cancer AND high functioning autism?
Hi! I've just been diagnosed and was wondering if any of you amazing people also have ASD (Aspergers)? It does feel like I'm a bit of a rareity when dealing with the surgical/medical teams.
Thanks @AllyJay, It's nice to hear from you. It seems that I will be doing a lot of educating of surgical/medical teams. I think they were a bit shocked at my very matter-of-fact response to my diagnoses. I had to reasure them that I did understand the gravity of it but it just wasn't something I would very over-emotional about. (I save that for hurt animals/ injustice/running out of chocolate!)
