Anxiety/Depression/Mental Illness Support

By the way, there is no OCD spectrum, depression spectrum or anxiety spectrum. Again, being nervous about something or even having a phobia is not a disorder. Liking something neat doesn't mean you're on the "OCD spectrum." It's simple.

I have extremely mild AS. In my case the negatives are negligable but the positives are undeniable. It wasn't noticed until I was diagnosed at the age of 17. Until that point it hadn't negatively effected me or caused any significant distress yet this is still classed as a disorder.
Ignore the wikipedia definition by the way, its extremely simplistic at best.
The point is I'm only slightly higher on that spectrum than most of you, that doesn't change the fact you're still on that spectrum and that you can be classified according to it.
