I just signed up a couple of days ago, and this seemed like the place to begin. I'm currently in the process of navigating the medical system in attempt to get a diagnosis. I've been reading about Asperger's for a few months, and it seems like every single thing I learn causes an epiphany. I'm suddenly understanding my childhood and current problems with a clarity I've never had. I always assumed that I was just exceptionally weird, and didn't associate many of the "symptoms" with each other as though they were a single package. I know there's danger in making self-diagnosis based on internet reading, but I'm convinced beyond a doubt. Nothing in my life has ever made so much sense before. So I just wanted to make my first post and express my gratefulness at having found this place. I look forward to posting more later, and getting to know everyone.

Welcome Tangerine, I'm from Canada too, Trois-Rivieres near Montreal !

Hi!

Cool!

Hi Tangerine and welcome from another relative newcomer.

Like you the realisation of my AS came late in life. It was as a result of my son being assessed ASD. I have also read loads - Tony Attwood's book was the most useful.

Good luck.

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

I apologize for the late welcome. I've been busy.

I hope you enjoy posting here!

Hey!

Thanks to everyone for the welcome.

You are welcome!

i know how you feel! i recently found out about AS and it's like ive been smacked in the forehead and everything is so clear now! im passively trying to get a DX atm but dont really have the time or money... im not too concerned because i had kinda accepted being weird some time ago... but at the same time, i'd like to have it kind of finalized...

it just feels so relieving to have a working theory that explains every facet of my life's struggles!
