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 @Wednesday,
I know what you mean. Other people don't understand the sensory overload we have especially when it comes to pain.
As I have stage 4 I'm choosing to not have aggressive treatment and just try and stay as comfortable and peaceful as possible. 
Do you know what your prognosis would be if you did stop treatment? Where are you in Australia?
