New to Asperger's

Post Reply New Topic

I am 41, and discovered that I have Asperger's last December. I have known for a few years that I have prosopagnosia and that diagosis was a relief because for most of my life I thought that I was subconsciously anti-social - that I did not care enough about other people to "bother" remembering their faces. Having a diagosis has made social situations MUCH less awkward.

In the same way, I find it is a relief to have a label for my "wrongplanet" phenomenon. Suddenly, my childhood makes sense, and the slights that I felt - the lack of human connection and friends, seems clear. I now have very effective social skills (within a select group of people - I still am not good with the "beer and football" crowd, but I don't try very hard because I find them deadly boring).

I work as an architect and design small "green" homes. I am a great designer, but a poor business man, so my business sort of limps along.

I live on 16 acres in Maine, in a small cabin that my wife and I are building.

I would love to see some of your designs.

To WrongPlanet!! !
