Scored 8. Doing fine in terms of profession and money, quite a bit more than fine. I’ve made peace with never having much of a social circle or children or the normal interpersonal trappings of a life. I strongly hate and fear people, and that’s never going away.

I went through a period in my 20s when I was very interested in talking about it and doing therapy and getting diagnoses. Did the whole circuit of the books and techniques and medications that usually get talked about. Now I’m not interested in talking about it and don’t ID as having any condition.

I’m quite happy and satisfied with my life as a whole. There are many other ways to fill the day. Probably once a week or so I’ll wake up, and as the fog of unconsciousness clears enough for me to remember what and where and how I am, it makes me smile.
