Yesterday I went to the doctor and I got diagnosed with Autism. I feel nervous and worried. She says it means my brain is wired differently from other people's.

Don’t worry! You just process and perceive things differently, which is not a bad thing : )

Ain't like something has changed about you. At best, it'll help you resignify whatever you need 'bout yourself and thus it gives support to better understand how to handle your surroundings.

When my sister first pointed out the possibility that I was autistic, years ago, she presented me with this article (translated to Portuguese at the time):

www.bbc.co.uk: It all made sense when we found out we were autistic - BBC News

The key was the following line:
As a child I'd felt as though everyone but me had been given a manual on how to behave around other people.

It further explained loads about my interaction with my own family, former friends, classmates, teachers from both school and college and even my previous work at a publishing house. Currently I do therapy as a complement.

No that's really not something to worry about X3
It's not a disease or anything.
The part about differently wired brains is definitely true, but it is purely "different" not "wrong"
I'm on the spectrum too, and it can make life a bit awkward when it comes to social interaction. But knowing you have autism will help with that I think.
Also it's a super power! I recommend looking up a list of famous people with Asperger's or autism. Lil hint: Einstein is believed by many to be on the list ^w^

Random thought: I think the USA should either change its name to be something like USN(orth)A(merica) or just buy the other American countries. The inaccurate name is weird.

I don't like inconsistencies.

I realized a while ago that one of my biggest drives(?), preserving consistency, has influenced me to a degree. It makes me hate cognitive dissonance in myself, for one.
