Hi guys, just want to learn about Asperger's. My son has been diagnosed with it, and I may have it, I don't really know at this time. I suspect I probably do. I'm a long haul trucker which I guess is a perfect job for me since I have little interaction with people, and what little I have is with shippers, consignees, and other truckers, and I seem to fit in with my fellow drivers pretty well, amazingly. I like to play chess, too. And the only kind of music I listen to is 60s and 70s classic rock. Just can't bring myself usually to listen to the newer music. I'm married to an NT, and it's been pretty challenging at times with our son, and me. I just hope I can get some enlightenment here so things can get better in my relationships to other people.
