Just thought I should introduce myself.
I'm moopants. I'm in my 30s, a mother and a student.
I don't have a formal medical diagnosis but I have been assessed by a local asd charity who say I have the characteristics of Aspergers, albeit mildly. They suggest I try to get a formal diagnosis but for the past two - three years no one has been willing to consider it.
To be honest, I don't care what they call it, I just need to try and accept that I am a bit different to everyone else, something that for the past 30 odd years I have struggled with. I haven't approached asd communities before but I'm hoping that here I can find somewhere I am accepted and fit in.
The Internet has been fantastic for me as it allows the social interaction i don't really achieve in real life but even then I find I don't really understand why people do what they do and say what they say.
