Hi,

Just thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm quite new to this ASD thing.. I've always known I was a bit different and at the grand age of 33 I think I may have cracked it.

I'd never really heard of Aspergers until a few months ago a councilor suggested I'm probably that way inclined. Since then I have done some research and found that many of the traits seem to fit me like a glove.. I initially thought I may have been ADD.

I wouldn't mind an official diagnosis though but wouldn't know where to look. I took the Aspie Quiz and it concluded that I was very likely Aspergers:

Your Aspie score: 141 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 63 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I hope to learn a lot here.

Robin

Welcome to WP! . I found out about AS pretty late, too. I am 28 and was just diagnosed (professionally, I diagnosed myself several years earlier). Hope to see you around the site!

Hello Robin, welcome,

I'm 34 and got diagnosed with Asperger's only recently.

Enjoy your stay on the Wrong Planet!
