Hello, I'm new too. As well. Too.

Hello!

So glad to find something like this.

I'm 41 and a bit and am increasing convinced that I have aspergers. I seem to have most/all of the symptoms (socially useless/find people boring/obsessed with small engines/terrified of change etc).

I'm trying to work out if there's anything useful that I can do at my age in relation to this condition, or whether realistically I should just carry-on as before.

My head is in a bit of a spin.

Hello!

glad you found us, too. i learned to small talk after the age of 50, so it's never to late to learn new strategies.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Thankyou both for the welcome!

I'm not sure that small talk is a possibility for me. I suppose I'd like to somehow address the 'aloneness' (even with a wife and kids) of the condition. The friendlessness. Not that I feel as if I want/need friends at all, more that I'm aware of being different due to the lack of them.

It is (as you are aware) very awkward.

Welcome! I'm also 41, undiagnosed. Married with kids, but have no close friends and struggle with work. Small talk is not one of my strengths either!
