Laz, excellent post.
Im 51
Here in the US, AS wasn't recognized till 1994!
I had a lot of frustration trying to make myself understtod to councilers.First went to a shrink in third grade, (age 9)who decide there was nothing wrong with me-despite what would be considered "red Flags" today.
Got My first (mis) diagnoses about 5 years ago.(ADD.Inattentive)
Got my Aspergers dx two years ago.
So first, I got abit depressed, went through a lot of retrospection.
then decided to get help.
also had a big (unresolved) philosophical crisis (self improvement vs, self acceptance,
am I human etc,
Decide to take another shot at college, with abetter understanding of my problems.
that semed to go pretty well until this semester, good help being harder to get than you think here.
