> I called T before I saw pdoc to see if they talked. T thinks Dr. Clueless is brilliant. She never saw me in the light that pdoc does.Oh ugh. (sorry, gut reaction)

> I told T that I do not have Asperger's. Yes, my verbal skills developed young. Yes, my math skills are non-existant. But I have a sense of humor, understand sarcasm (dish it out with the best of them) and am pretty darn sure I can read facial expressions correctly. If I can't take away my degree in film history because I obviously misunderstood all those silent movies.You know, it could be a math learning disability. Or ADHD. Those things happen and people still get college degrees and function. Or you could just have "Poet-ness". Which actually presents with a lot of charm, if you ask me.

She forgot about the last two suggestion, BTW.Clutziness and incoordination can go along with ADHD. Ask me about walking into walls that don't ever move, someday. ;) I'm trying to get back into yoga. That helps me some with figuring out where my body is compared to those solid objects.

> What it's done is make me mad at her. Usually I am mad at myself. Which I probably will be on Thursday when I see her.I think you expressed your anger and what it stems from very well. I hope you print out your post and bring it in.
>Though the mad little kid in me is proud of the tantrum I threw on the phone. I can see myself kicking and screaming on her floor. Who says I can't feel emotions. Anger is an emotion, is it not?
You betcha, and it can feel very very authentic to have a trantrum.
Sorry you are struggling with all this.
Take care,
