After research, reading, self testing and then reviewing everything with my wife, neither of us have any doubt of my autism spectrum disorder (I guess I'll use the soon to be global description for asperger).

As I'm sure many others have mentioned and felt, that there was something "different" about how I saw and reacted to the world.
That once I completed the research I just want to break down, finally having a reason of why things were the way they were.

I'm not quite sure what to do with this new found knowledge and based on reactions from even my wife at times, I'm sure I don't want to share this with anyone I know.

Hence my coming here. I needed a place just to read and/or comment on things that ring true with me from people who know the feeling (or lack there of) and look for ideas in how to reduce some of the frustration, stress and anger that has followed me for my whole life.

From the way you put quotes around "hear" I thought you must be deaf. Apparently not?

Oh, well. Welcome.
