Hi,

Like many of you, I've had a life that didn't make any sense. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't seem to be able to make it work. Then, on another forum, I came across a description of what it was like to have Asperger's. I thought, "Yeah!" and began to do some serious research. By the middle of last year, I felt confident enough to decide that I did have it, but having a cautious, scientific mind, I went to a professional to have it confirmed. In September last year, at the age of 34, I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's.

I've been through the dizzying experience of re-evaluating my life. Now I wonder, which way next? How can I make things better? I've joined this forum in the hope that I'll get a few ideas!

Welcome!

That was similar for me - getting the diagnosis after 34 years of struggling (in Oct last year!). Now the struggle has a better direction I'd say..
All best and a good time here!
