I am a late diagnosed Aspie too. I was 50. I always knew I was different, I just didn’t know why. My advice is to accept who you are and try to learn to work around your limitations. Everyone, NTs and autistic people have limitations really. For example: I work in a deli so I deal with the public a ...

I can’t connect with people either. I totally understand. I used to try really hard to connect. I joined churches, went to parties, and joined a few clubs. Nothing. I just couldn’t understand how everyone else formed groups and were so engrossed in each other’s company. It didn’t make sense to me. F...

I was in the military and was stationed in England (yes, it was easy to blend in for me in the military as I had years of unpleasant practice in a private school). It was my special interest growing up and living there was a dream come true. I did some sightseeing on my own which was fun. I have alw...

I have a rocking chair in three rooms and constantly rock. I always had a rocking chair ever since I can remember, I need to rock. I also rub any rough part of my knuckles on my lip.

My son was diagnosed at 16. I learned a lot about Aspergers and thought it sounded like me too, so to prove myself wrong I went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me and sent me to a counselor who specializes in Aspergers (autism) and she diagnosed me too because I couldn’t believe it. It explained my ...

I'm new here. :P Guess I'll tell anyone that is interested a bit about myself. I am 52 years old and was officially diagnosed a few months ago.
