I'm 18 years old and have been studying Asperger's for some time. Originally it started because I was in love with a guy who seemed to have all the traits so I learned as much as I could in an effort to understand him...but in my studying I realized that it was helping me understand myself.

I've been told ever since I was little that I was 'different'. That I thought differently than other people and that was always awesome, until I started hitting the teen years and getting into relationships that always seemed to end in the same ways and go through the same cycles. I thought there was something wrong with how I did relationships or how I thought and that if I just kept trying eventually things would stick and I would have a 'normal' relationship. But that's never what I wanted.

Now I'm realizing that I'm happy with myself and how my brain works and that I don't have to fit myself into some kind of mold in order to find someone. I think Asperger's has made sense of a lot of things that just didn't add up in my life.

Funnily enough, that's how I realised I was AS too.... in getting my daughter diagnosed, realised I had similar traits. Much more research later and I'm going back to be officially diagnosed (I hope). Read as much as you can on the subject, there are some very good books out there - pm me if you want any suggestions.

In reading up about AS, I've helped myself understand myself better (how and why I do things) and also improved my marriage as my husband will also read relevant bits and then we'll have a discussion - which is useful as he usually identifies a behaviour before I do (he's NT).

Good luck.

Welcome to WP!

We all have our own way of stumbling upon this diagnosis, so the stories will always be interesting!
