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.

Hi @HinterlandSian I'm not ASD. I'm just odd and--on occasion--difficult.

I, too, have had some issues where my reactions, either overly calm or overly catastrophic, have made my medical teams uncomfortable. What can you do? We are who we are.

Keep them on their toes. Take notes, teach them stuff they need to learn. Good luck.
