Dino-Aspie Roll Call

Post Reply New Topic

My age is: 47
My birthday is on: 10/19
My diagnosis is: AS - self dx. How did I find out? I was writing about a character I was going to have be HFA, then ran across Asperger's which fit her better. She was based off myself, my best friend and my aunt with fiction thrown in. I started to research Asperger's for her and took the tests. Then I did more research and said, Wow. I never thought I had anything I gave a character before. And here all this time I just accepted I was strange.
I was diagnosed in: A couple of months ago self dx
I live in: a hurricane prone state
I am married/have a partner: Yes. He's NT, analytical and rational, so I overlook his OCD and social tendencies. LOL He overlooks my eating habits and inability to read his emotions. He's perfectly capable of explaining what he feels.
I have kids: None. Never wanted them.
My kids have AS: N/A
I would like to have a relationship because: Have all of them I need. My husband, my family and some eccentric, artistic and intellectual friends I like and who never "chitchat"
I don't want a relationship because: If this relationship ends, that's it. They are too much work and I really only like him enough to do it. At my age, I'm not going through it again.
I have other medical/health issues: None
One more thing I want to add: I would never go to a shrink to tell me what's going on with my brain. It would be like taking my dog to a car mechanic.

My age is: 41
My birthday is on: January (aquarius)
My diagnosis is: AS
I was diagnosed in: 2-3 years ago by a psychologist but didn`t believe it until recently
I live in: Switzerland
I am married/have a partner: no
I have kids: 2, girl=24, boy=22
My kids have AS: no and they are very well adjusted and capable even with an AS single parent mum so don`t believe all that crap that we can`t be decent parents
I would like a relationship with someone who I can keep in a cupboard and just take out when required - so not likely to happen
I have other medical/health issues: just the occasional depression due to trying to live in a strange world
One more thing I want to add: I am currently addicted to WP having finally found out WHY? to so many questions and `meeting` so many people like me. It has been 40 years of hell for which I thank my kids for helping me survive.
