Greetings all y'all,
Recently have been exploring my life, and the possibility of being an Aspie.

44 year old Scotsman in Kentucky.
Married, but no kids.
Work in Food Bank Operations.

Have some social issues, and although happily married, I like to spend a lot of time alone.

Recently I took these tests:
First was picpalace where I had the score 39/50.
Second was rdos where I had the following result:

Your Aspie score: 140 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 65 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Planning on visiting an Adults Aperger's group on Sunday afternoon to speak with them and find out more.

Very pleased to be here.
Did discover "Aspies for Freedom" first, and have the same username there.

Be well.

Thanks Rich-Z & AA.

Attended an "Adults with Aspergers" meet-up today.
Talked with some of the leaders, and think I may be more ADD and OCD related than the full range of Aspergers.
Not actually been diagnosed yet. We talked about those options.
