@emellish, thanks for writing. You're actually a very strong writer; your words are so clear ... and so hard to read because they remind me of myself. I am married - for 30+ years - and we have one daughter, who is estranged. We suspect that she's autistic, too, but she doesn't seem interested/willi...

I’m 70 years old and was just diagnosed with autism 6 months ago. I’m a retired professional, married for several decades, successful in many ways but always awkward in some social situations. I’d love to connect with others with “mild” autism who can help me understand how it’s affected your life a...
