Hello everyone.

I'm new and just wanted to say hey. I was recently, at the age of 41, diagnosed with Asperger's. Of course, I had always known something about me was different. Feels good to finally know what it is and to know that there are others out there like me. :)

I'm from the U.S. Guess I should probably put that in my profile. :)

My son was recently diagnosed as well so I figured I could learn a lot here as well as receive some good support.
