I've been reading that having e-mail friendships can be helpful for many aspies, so here is a little about me:
I'm a self-diagnosed aspie (actually my husband pointed it out to me)
I am 41 yrs old
I'm in denial over my diagnosis
Mother of 3 autistic children
Looking for positive peers and people to talk about the following issues:
sensory overload coping mechanisms (for ex ear plugs, drinking chamomile tea to settle anxiety, etc.)
friendship skills (how to develop them and keep them)
general chit chat skills
anxiety management
transition management

if interested in developing an e-mail friendship. please respond. Want to speak to people who are positive, optimistic, friendly, and really want to work on this skill too. I feel very disconnected to the world and am realizing how I need to get connected. I'm hoping this helps. :D

Good to meet you, feel free to PM me.

I tend to use PM to communicate with a few of the other citizens of WP

I hope you are not offended but I would rather not give out my email address here.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
