Hi, Im Fitz. I just had a recent revelation that I may have Aspergers' Syndrome. I was listening to NPR last week and a guy named Tim Page has written a book called "Parallel Play: Life As An Outsider". It's about his life and struggles before and after he discovered he had Aspergers' Syndrome at age 45. After listening to his interview, I realized I had many of the exact same symptoms and even many of the same interests and experiences as this guy. Took several tests this week that seem to point me in this direction. Have been wondering for years why I haven't been able to connect with people no matter how hard I try. Came online to learn more about AS and found this forum.

I'm a musician, amateur writer, cab driver, jack of all trades, master of none.

Welcome, Fitz. I'm quite new here myself, and am finding the site quite interesting and helpful so hopefully the same goes for you!
