Hi all, new here and glad I came!

Post Reply New Topic

I've been reading the stuff on this site for months now and thought I'd better say hello. When I feel isolated and misunderstood it helps to hear what other aspies think and go through. All my life I've been an ousider and couldn't understand why I didn't fit in untill recently. My seven year old son was diagnosed dyspraxic and I looked on various sites to learn more. I came across a definition of AS and it was like reading a perfect description of myself. I didn't know what I was like all these years and it was as if I'd seen my face in a mirror for the first time. Then I stumbled on wrong planet and I felt that here, just maybe, was a community I could belong to. Sort of feeling alone together. (I love paradox). This is my first post on any forum anywhere ever and I feel a bit nervous. Once again hi.

Welcome! I'm glad you found us!

I think a lot of people our age (cough,cough) find out about AS and other non NT things after our children are diagnoised. Its good that our children will get services that where never even imagined when we were growing up.

Again, welcome and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

You're so right , my boy sees an educational psychologist every week.
He loves it because she swings him in a hammock.
I just used to get kicked out of class or laughed at.
Heres to neurodiversity.
