| I am 43 and trying to get a diagnosis. I done lots of online tests that always come out affirmative and when I listen to people on the spectrum describe their symptoms on youtube it seems so on the money that i'm sure it's something I have.

| Just came back from an appointment with a psychiatrist, still trying to get tested, who didn't think I acted like someone with aspergers. She said, "well, you seem well behaved and you have a job and you owned your own business for 8 years, I don't think you're displaying the signs." I cor... |

| I've been trying to get an official diagnosis for the past couple of months at the local clinic. Every time I go for an appointment its to schedule a new appointment. This is extremely frustrating. I went this morning and spoke to a psychologist for less than 5 minutes who seemed perturbed and anxio... |

| My experience was mixed. I new nothing when I started and learned everything the hard way, trial and error. I hated handling customer service although I really liked most of my customers and loved the compliments they gave me. Closing it down was one of the hardest things I've ever done, I was devas... |

| I have to disagree with you about introverts not wanting to go out and socialize, it's a basic human need. I hate going to bars, clubs, etc. not because I don't like people, its just extremely difficult. My concept, and it is extremely well thought out with a business plan, financials, an operations... |

| Actually, Dave and Busters is just the same old thing that's been out there for almost forty years. I'm doing something completely different. It involves using the card swipe system in ways that no one else is doing, a small theater, and a completely different approach to the prize counter. It's all... |

| My obsession is arcades. I opened a pizzeria with a home equity loan, back when they were throwing money at anyone, and ran it for 8.5 years. I was never able to get the money to relocate and expand because of my awkwardness when speaking to bankers and overwhelming anxiety. I developed this perfect... |

| I'm from Wilson, NC and don't know anyone else on the spectrum. I would love to meet some others with aspergers if there's anyone else out there near me.
