That I completely agree with. After being diagnosed, for quite a bit of time I could not think of anything else, felt more anxious and weird, and tried even harder to 'hide' my quirks. Over time I realized a lot of those quirks are not so weird, or at least not weirder than those of 'normal' people. In fact, this is one reason why, as I understand it, adult aspies are sometimes warned that they might not want a proper diagnosis, as it can have a severe negative effect (even if just self-worth), and there's not much that can be done to 'solve' the problem.
