| It might depend where you are. I am still halfway through diagnosis and have waited seven months so far for the second part. No effort is being put into taking care of my case at the minute because I am an adult and the kids are more important than the adults, so, we are put on the reserve list and ... |

I have pretty OK social skills and abilities (all things considered), but I still missed out on experiences etc. I worry a l... |

Mine is pretty nice  I used to get compliments on it as a kid in school because I learned to read and write faster than my peers, but I sucked at maths. |

But, I have done well in my life even so, considering there were many extra obstacles besides AS in my life and I was late with getting awaren... |

Yep same here! I am Scrooge, to some extent (not always).
I do spend money if it's necessary (both on things I need and what I do not need), but I tend to prefer not to spend money if I do not really, really have to. |

| Both my father and I have Aspergers (he is unaware, but I am aware of his AS stuff, and my own as well). I grew up in a time when diagnosis was not available for anybody (we were just the "shy, oddball, weird kids" in the 1980s). My dad did not have a diagnosis (and still does not, he is 7... |

| Yes, been there done that. I have not been believed by many, but my heart knows the truth. I know that everything that happened in my life, or did not happen in my life, was because of Aspergers that went undiagnosed and that now has been finally understood and half-diagnosed. I am an adult so I am ... |
