I just joined! I'm in mid-life, have has problems related to Asperger's all my life, but didn't know until 2 years ago what was the cause of my problems. It was liberating in a sense because I stopped thinking that I was stupid and I realized that I was not to blame for my failures. I still have problems with low motivation and lethargy, but know that I'm more successful than most people with my condition. (I'm also mentally ill.)

Hey JackAsselin;

Welcome to our reality

Try not to be overwhelmed.

Sounds pretty stupid to the NT

Aspies generally know these onsets

How far they go, IS what we love and fear

Second nature is over-rated, third nature = Aspie-ality

Most people around here will accept you with open arms, if not, let them BEE
