I am 34 and only recently have become aware I may have AS. Moved away from home 2 years ago and haven't made any friends in my new surroundings. I felt I was always a bit socially awkward when young but felt that it only may have been shyness. Since I've moved away I've more or less shut myself away from the world and on visits home my relationships with friends and family has started to detieriate(sorry don't know how to spell that word).

It has now recently crept into my working life and I have serious problems maintaining eye contact(which I've always forced myself to do) and no physical contact which is now causing me serious problems as all my workmates have picked up on it and now is making things worse because I'm so self concious about it.

Sorry if what I just wrote if doesn't make sense and if I shouldn't be on this site but am really scared and don't know what to do.

If you want to get an idea of what aspergers is, then take the aspie quiz. Type it in on google and you'll find it.
