hello all. i just found this place today while working. i'm a 39 year old divorced father of 3 with bipolar II and asperger's (undiagnosed - but trust me, i'm definitely an aspie). actually, looking back at my life, and how i am, a lot of it makes sense with asperger's in the equation. my family, friends and i just finally put all the things together this past year and finally figured it out. and i have to say, i'm pretty happy being me, aspie and all.

hope to get to know everyone. of course, the usual aspie things apply - i take everything at face value, and tend to go off on rants or tangents that apply to whatever i'm actually interested in I'm sure you'll all bear with me.

Welcome to WP!

I, too, have just found it liberating to look back on my life and see it through the lens and context of knowing about Asperger's. So much makes sense now, even though I suspect I'm mild-to-moderate on the spectrum.
