Anyone else here with breast cancer AND high functioning autism?

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.

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!)

Hi there @HinterlandSian...I'm not, but I've been married to one for 42 years now and also have a daughter aged 37, who is an Aspie. Her partner of many years and aged 43 it a full on Aspie as well, even with the Aspie walk. We all share house, so I'm surrounded with Aspies and know very well the difficulties that each of them have.
