NYT Column: I Had Asperger Syndrome. Briefly.

[DonRedwood]

5. Thank you!

In this case his mis-diagnosis, still came with the school system stepping up and helping teach him to be more social, how to make friends, etc. So, the treatment was effective in that it helped move him out of a range where his behaviors were seen as outside of the normal range.

Or, as you say above, perhaps he just learned how to deal with the symptoms so well that he no longer meets the criteria to be diagnosed.

But Aspergers, as you also say, is continuous and can be a struggle. Good luck to you as you move into the dating world! Dating is tough, no matter what, but a spark is a spark so somewhere out there is an awesome person who will fit you well. (I shudder to think of how many dates I had before I finally found my match...but it was super easy once we met up).
