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.

I am. I am having an extremely difficult time communicating with doctors and nurses. I also have other health conditions. I am so fed up at the moment with the lack of support, constant dismissal of pain and side effects from chemo that I am seriously considering stopping treatment.
