Hi. I am a mother of 3. Two of which are as. I am married to an as. My eldest came to me not long ago and proposed that I am as. I didn't want to look into it. Long story short, I am as. On one hand, it explains so much and that's amazing. On the other hand...I have different fingers... *Snickers then seriouses* I don't want another label. I can't talk about it with my abelist extended family and I have already experienced so much stigma and judgement as a bipolar. I went through massive amounts of trauma from my divorce and breakdown. So, I suppose this forum is going to be my own place of coming out in public and being amongst my kindred. I have to say, I've been reading a lot around here today and I really LOVE the straight-forward honesty!! !! It is making me so happy! A place where I don't have to read between the lines wondering what the person really means/feels... What is their motive? Do they mean what they're saying? :roll: It confirms what I've been agonising over, that I am an aspy. With two kids and a husband who is, how could I have not known all these years? :?: :| :?:

Anyway, please feel free to friend me and open a dialogue with me. I think I would really enjoy being with more of my own kind. *draws elaborate mothership* :)

Welcome OliveBunny!

I’m also a new member here on Wrong Planet. I recently self-diagnosed (Feb. 2018) and I am going through the clinical process of being evaluated for ASD, my first official appointment is supposed be at the end of April.

I’m finding it a little difficult to come to terms with everything. I’m about to turn 40 and suddenly everything and nothing has changed.

I’m also looking for people to interact with. I’m hoping that talking to others will help me to come to terms with myself and relieve some of the loneliness and anxiety that I’m feeling.

I’ve tried posting some comments and using the chat room but, it seems like a lot of people on this site seem to prefer voyeurism to interaction (not a big shocker considering the demographics here). That or I just haven’t stumbled upon the right topic threads.

Anyway, short story long, if you (OliveBunny) or anyone else is interested in talking or setting up a new thread where we can congregate, please let me know!
