| I am also in my early 50s. I found out about classic autism about 20 or 30 years ago through docudrama on TV. It was just a story to me as it didn't fit my situation. Less than 10 years ago I came across info on Asperger's Sydrome, and it was like fire works going off in my brain, because most of w... |

| hi Kazz, welcome to WP :) I was self diagnosed with AS yesterday, and part of my realization had to do with work that day. I've always felt like I never fit in and that others tended to mock me behind my back or even to my face (sometimes subtle, sometimes not so much) that day was especially bad, ... |

| I don't have faceblindness. I only have difficulties spotting people because I don't look at people - I look down or away from anyone's faces (unless I know them). I have a fear of being looked at by others, so I look away so that I don't catch anyone looking at me. But it's not good when you end u... |

| Does anybody else feel as if they don't have a personality? I could never relate to what people meant by 'personality' - I could never relate to this concept.
