Hello all. This is my first post. I have joined WP because I think I am an Aspie. I have not sought formal diagnosis as yet due to various complex reasons.

Though I have worked in the healthcare field for the last 15 years it was only 7 years ago the thought occurred to me that I may have Aspergers. Only in the last year that thought no longer scares me. In fact, paradoxically now I'm afraid I may not have Aspergers. For reading about Aspergers has been the only thing so far which has neatly explained why I am how I am. For me now the more I read about the condition the more I feel it explains why although I am quite clever in certain areas why certain simple things are so difficult for me. But more importantly why social interaction has been so hard for me since as far back as I can remember.

Anyhow, thank you for such a forum where you all are so welcoming that I have actually dared to post and admit the above.

Thanks FogOfLife. I have recently discovered this forum and I am loving the topics of discussion. I haven't been on any forums for a long time. Previously I have only been on forums related to discussions about books movies or tv programs. This is a bit new for me.
