and still wrapping my head around it.

I'm in my late 30s. This board helped me learn more about AS thus leading me to get a diagnosis.

So um....hello.....

Now, I wish THAT happened to me (where I live there's no specialist in AS or autism, so basically I would have to travel out of the country to get a diagnosis). However, lucky you.

Welcome to WP. I didn't learn about it until recently either.

I am lucky there was a place to get diagnosed near me and that my immediate family are supportive. I'm trying to understand the scope of the spectrum. It's so varied.

Thanks for the welcome.
