Hi all. I've been officially diagnosed for about 6 months now. It wasn't a big surprise, but it's taken a lot of time and effort to get to this stage! I've just turned 30 and I've got a history of being diagnosed with either Depression or "being a naughty boy" and it's only since I managed to educated my GP on what Asperger's actually IS that I managed to get a referral and my diagnosis!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and making some new friends here.

PS. For any ladies reading this, I'm 30 years old, 6'4" tall and pretty much completely hopeless at relationships so don't get your hopes up! :-D

Hi, welcome to WP. I think for a very long time I refused to believe that there was a name to why I was different, but I came to terms with it eventually. How are you finding WP so far? I think it seems very friendly so far.

Hi there, another UK newbie here too. I don't have an official diagnosis, but if I'm not an aspie then I'll eat my own arm off.
