Salam,
Hi citizen of WrongPlanet,
I'm thirty. I just self-diagnosed with Asperger in April 2014. A lot of 'Oh! that's why..' coming out of my mouth, since... daily, until now. I've been through depression time, problem at work, hermit-stage, divorced, married again(same person), divorced, married again( still same person
). Though I've one nephew who is autistic and I could see some of his stimming behaviour(i.e. knee bobbing, finger drum) in me, I never conclude myself as person in ASD before. Now, I'm trying to improve some of weaknesses that has been wired down to our brain such as make eye contact, be more brave seeing people, not too procrastinate, try not too impulsive, try to understand what is exactly people is saying(this makes me understand how NT people thinking) and try to balance my dopamine and norepinephrine level by intermittenly fasting. Diagnosed with asperger actually makes me happy in a way acknowledging our differences.
Thank you and I'm Hudz btw.
