Hello,

I'm a late-30's male and have recently come to the conclusion that I have Asperger's.

I haven't been diagnosed, but have all the symptoms: chronic difficulty in understanding people and dealing with social situations (getting easier with age, but still...), logical mind, INTENSE ability to concentrate, problems with emotions, heightened senses, obsessive behaviour, etc, etc.

I had a bit of a setback recently that really caused me to search for answers as to why I was having so many difficulties that didn't make sense to those around me. Asperger's Syndrom explains not only my recent problems, but my whole life. I never imagined so many people were in the same situation, but it is comforting that it's not just me.
