I'm a 57 yr old female and have known all my life I was different. I was diagnosed last August with Bipolar disorder and agreed with that diag.
However I knew something still wasn't right.
One of my friends on a Bipolar forum posted a link to a awesome Autistic sight. Once I read that I am positive this is what is wrong. It describes me to a T.
I am still working with some Drs. so I will bring this up as I am able.
I am a kind person yet I have NO Friends (with exception to one for nearly 40 yrs) I am unable to talk and when I try it is a mess,I don't know proper body language,just so many things I am sure most of you know about.
How is it I can write some?
I hope you all are ok with my joining you.
