Hi!

I´m new here, woman, 35 and waiting to get possibly diagnosed in the future.
I´ve had lot of autistic traits since childhood, even as baby (?) when I used to look at the roof as if I was thinking very deep philosophical questions and humming myself.

I was bullied at kindergarten and school, always the outsider in all social situations, nowadays I have few friends that I meet about once a month or sometimes even less...luckily they show same traits as me, and don´t get upset about it.
Those friendships where people wanted more regural contact with me, have always failed which has hurt me on some lever, although at the same I have been relieved as well. I hate talking on the phone and going out, loud crowded places are simply the ultimate horror for me most of the time.

I don´t know what else to tell, I guess I´ll write something more then later.

Hi clock. Welcome to Wrong Planet. I was diagnosed when I was 2, right after my MMR vaccine. Now my social skills have improved and everything with my Asperger's gets better and better every day. One way I can prove it is my teachers said that I act more mature than the other kids. They don't think I need the SPED program anymore. Although, they will keep me in it for Middle School.

Hi

I'm new too. 45 and just worked out AS. I don't want a diagnosis myself. What for? I feel I have no real work problems or social things like school parent get togethers. But I have some family issues. Know I have AS traits (I don't need a dr to tell me) lets me recognise them better I am want to do something about it.

I have lots of mixed feeling about coming to my revelation, but its good to know about AS.

There are a lot of kids on this site. I wish I knew about AS 30 yrs ago (yes I know, no-one knew about it 30 yrs ago).

This site helps.

Welcome.

Ian

Hi!

Thanks for all for your welcomes.
I had my appointment at the local Autism-centre, where they said it´s obvious that I have Aspergers. For me diagnosis is actually useful, as some of my proplems are so severe...
Still, I prefer to solve my problems with my own thinking as always, but therefor it´s good to know about AS. I´ve gained a lot of insight since then.
