Posted some of this in another line but it works here too. I am 63 and am begining feel I have come out the other side. Finding this site and making the Autism Spectrum connection was the final piece of brush and now I am at least seemingly out of the woods. MY story includes self medicating and 24 years of recovery in 12 step rooms. I am a retired geek who like many here, can focus. Maybe compulsively - if you go to the site below you'll see what I mean by that.
I have several traits I consider to be gifts. I am hugely creative, have an "eye" which allows me to take and make very good photographs. Memory is sometimes too good.. Strangely,, paradoxically for someone who is so happy alone and is clueless about other people's intentions etc - I have an healing, calming ability and am very good with people in distress have been writing books to this effect. Free on the net - need flash and fast connection though..
